Hi Joshua, Yes, you are right. About several days ago I tried to upgrade 'automake-1.4.5_9' to its latest version using following commands which I knew being incorrect later; # cd /usr/ports/automake-1.4.5_9 # make deinstall After starting I saw it removed files which I needed. I closed the Konsole window promptly to stop running it. Today I tried to force remove 'automake-1.4.5_9' with following command # ca /usr/ports/ # pkg_delete automake pkg_delete: no such package 'automake' installed # ls /var/db/pkg .... automake-1.4.5_9 .... showing it war there. # pkg_delete -r automake-1.4.5_9 kg_delete: file '/usr/local/share/automake14/COPYING' doesn't really exist pkg_delete: file '/usr/local/share/automake14/INSTALL' doesn't really exist pkg_delete: file '/usr/local/share/automake14/acinstall' doesn't really exist pkg_delete: file '/usr/local/share/automake14/ansi2knr.1' doesn't really exist pkg_delete: file '/usr/local/share/automake14/ansi2knr.c' doesn't really exist pkg_delete: file '/usr/local/share/automake14/clean-hdr.am' doesn't really exist ......... pkg_delete: file '/usr/local/share/automake14/ylwrap' doesn't really exist pkg_delete: couldn't entirely delete package (perhaps the packing list is incorrectly specified?) I tried again # pkg_delete -r automake-1.4.5_9 pkg_delete: no such package 'automake-1.4.5_9' installed. It was very strange. So I prepared to force-install the latest version of automake. Before doing so I tried to 'make clean' the port trees first to see whether it will help Now can I stop running 'make clean' by closing the Konsole window. In doing so would it cause damage to the OS Kindly advise. TIA Furthermore connection to Internet died. I could not re-connect it. I think I need to reboot the PC. B.R.
