In the above post, a FreeBSD GNOME team member recommends "rebuilding and
reinstalling sysutils/polkit, sysutils/policykit, and sysutils/consolekit".
Q: How do I "rebuild and reinstall" these applications when they were installed
originally via "pkg_add -r gnome2"?
A: "pkg_add -r polkit" [fails with the message "already installed"]
I have the same problem and asked a while back but got no answer. My
Gnome is partially broken because of a stupid libpng and libjpg
upgrade and I would like to re-install the whole thing from binary.
Thank you,
Chris
To reinstall a package you must first delete it.
Do pkg_info | grep pkgname to get its full name.
Then pkg_delete fullpkgname
them pkg_add -r pkgname
