Dear all, I upgraded Perl to 5.24(1.r4_1) (via pkg upgrade). When I now try to install the latest version from ports (1.r5_1), the system can’t install the new version because of the older version, but can’t deinstall(*) the older version (eg. via make deinstall && make reinstall).
root@gw2:/usr/ports/lang/perl5.24 # pkg info | grep perl p5-Data-Dumper-2.161 Stringified perl data structures, suitable for both printing and eval p5-Pg-2.1.1_4,1 Interface for using perl5 to access PostgreSQL databases p5-Scalar-List-Utils-1.45,1 Perl subroutines that would be nice to have in the perl core perl5-5.24.1.r4_1 Practical Extraction and Report Language so currently via pkg upgrade I got perl5-5.24.1.r4_1, which perl itself confirms: root@gw2:/usr/ports/lang/perl5.24 # perl -v This is perl 5, version 24, subversion 1 (v5.24.1) built for amd64-freebsd-thread-multi (with 1 registered patch, see perl -V for more detail) This is then obviously the version from FreeBSD repository. If I try to install the latest version from ports (perl5-5.24.1.r5_1), I get the following (make install just to get the messages): root@gw2:/usr/ports/lang/perl5.24 # make install ===> Installing for perl5.24-5.24.1.r5_1 ===> Checking if perl5.24 already installed ===> Registering installation for perl5.24-5.24.1.r5_1 Installing perl5.24-5.24.1.r5_1... pkg-static: perl5.24-5.24.1.r5_1 conflicts with perl5-5.24.1.r4_1 (installs files into the same place). Problematic file: /usr/local/bin/perl5.24.1 *** Error code 70 Stop. make[1]: stopped in /usr/ports/lang/perl5.24 *** Error code 1 Stop. make: stopped in /usr/ports/lang/perl5.24 Deinstalling the existing version does not work: root@gw2:/usr/ports/lang/perl5.24 # make deinstall ===> Deinstalling for perl5.24 ===> perl5.24 not installed, skipping But according to pkg info it is installed: root@gw2:/usr/ports/lang/perl5.24 # pkg info perl5 perl5-5.24.1.r4_1 Name : perl5 Version : 5.24.1.r4_1 Installed on : Thu Jan 12 12:51:03 2017 CET Origin : lang/perl5.24 This sees to be a bit strange. (*) I have now removed the package using pkg delete -f -n perl5-5.24.1.r4_1 and was then able to install from ports without problems: root@gw2:/usr/ports/lang/perl5.24 # pkg info perl5.24-5.24.1.r5_1 perl5.24-5.24.1.r5_1 Name : perl5.24 Version : 5.24.1.r5_1 Installed on : Thu Jan 12 17:53:45 2017 CET Origin : lang/perl5.24 Any ideas what happened here? I’m not sure if this is expected behaviour.
