I found the cause. `pkg update' can only update the installed packages. mate_install is not installed. Therefore, the dependancy on that package is not consulted. mate_install is installed by the live image, but it is removed again when the install completes. mate_install is a list of packages that make up a Mate installations, but it gets removed again, making it a special case. Because of this special treatment for mate_install, that package doesn't really work. If you have done the install some time ago, `pkg update' will not observe changes to mate_install . The only solution is to make mate_install something that can be installed permanently. At the very least, the gtk-backend-cups dependancies should be attached to real packages. -- -Gary Mills- -refurb- -Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada- _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
