Hello,
I'm running Freebsd 8.0-Stable #9 Dec 17/09 on amd64. I'm running gnome, and at
the time i started my update i was at Gnome 2.26
I went through UPDATING and tried to switch from firefox 2 which is marked
ignore to libxul by changing WITH_GECKO=libxul removed firefox3 and installed
firefox35
I used UPDATING to try and sort out libxul, but it seems i have some cyclic
dependencies.
I use portmaster (i did try to rebuild things for portupgrade and try, but it
had bigger problems and i couldn't even update the index.) I keep updating my
ports tree (cvsup) i used portsnap, and it seems that was when my problems
started, i rm -rf /usr/ports/* and cvsupped the entire thing back at one point.
I got an error which seems to have started the whole ugly affair with
/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.gecko.mk causing post patch issues, the main problem seemed
to be e2fsprogs-libuuid which i was unable to rebuild due to it wanting a
bsd.gecko.mk patch which from what i've read is now removed with firefox2, i
deleted stuff till i got around that for now... but...
at present my key problem is a cyclic dependency when i try and rebuilt pretty
much anything, with libxul as the main issue.
glib20 => libxul =>glib20 => libxul =>glib20 => libxul
=>glib20 => libxul =>glib20 => libxul =>glib20
I have tried installing the package for both. i've tried pkg_deleting both then
installing the port, or using portmaster, i've tried portmaster
--check-depends, i've tried portmaster -e to remove them and try and re-install
them. I've removed about 1/2 my system and now have even more problems. (i
removed gettext and now portmaster complains about missing libintl.so.8 not
found.
at best i get a much larger cyclic loop with:
glib20 => libtool22 => libiconv => gettetxt => atk => libgmp4
=> farsight => gdm => libxul => glib20
or some other combination of the cycle.
Can anyone help me get my system back up and running?
make.conf looks like this:
WITH_MYSQL_VER=51
APACHE_VERSION=22
OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=f8
WWWDIR = /web/phpmyadmin
WITH_CUPS="yes"
CUPS_OVERWRITE_BASE=true
#NO_LPR=true
USE_GECKO=libxul
# Begin portconf settings
# Do not touch these lines
.if !empty(.CURDIR:M/usr/ports*) && exists(/usr/local/libexec/portconf)
_PORTCONF!=/usr/local/libexec/portconf
.for i in ${_PORTCONF:S/|/ /g}
${i:S/%/ /g}
.endfor
.endif
# End portconf settings
# added by use.perl 2009-09-19 16:22:20
PERL_VERSION=5.10.1
thanks
ken
