Dear FreeBSD folks,
I want to upgrade my ports but as I'm following the
/usr/ports/UPDATING file, it advised me to run the
command pkgdb -Ff.
When I do I get this:
pkgdb -Ff
---> Checking the package registry database
Duplicated origin: devel/autoconf261 - autoconf-2.53_4
autoconf-2.61_2
Unregister any of them? [no]
I don't know how to respond actually. The questioned
packages are installed:
pkg_info | grep autoconf
autoconf-2.13.000227_6 Automatically configure source
code on many Un*x platforms
autoconf-2.53_4 Automatically configure source
code on many Un*x platforms
autoconf-2.61_2 Automatically configure source
code on many Un*x platforms
autoconf-wrapper-20070404 Wrapper script for GNU
autoconf
What is wisdom here? Which one of them can I
unregister?
Hi, Dino:
Answer "yes" to the question shown above. You
will then be asked whether you would like to
"unregister autoconf-2.53_4, leaving the
installed files intact". If, at this point,
the system looks like it has the concept, go
ahead and allow it to change the package database.
After doing this for what seems like forever (well,
maybe, maybe not), you should have a pkgdb that
portupgrade is comfortable with.
HTH,
Kevin Kinsey
