Sorry, I had to sleep. It is weird py25-tkinter had that version number reported by portupgrade if you had python25 installed. I tested it on my box: $ grep PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION /etc/make.conf PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION=python2.6 $ make -C /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/py-tkinter/ -V PKGNAME py26-tkinter-2.6.1_3 $ sudo sed -i.bak -e 's/python2.6/python2.5/' /etc/make.conf $ make -C /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/py-tkinter/ -V PKGNAME py25-tkinter-2.5.4_3 You probably could have gotten rid of it, by doing a portsdb -uU (<opinion>or upgrading to portmaster :P</opinion>). Either way, having upgraded to python2.6 is not a bad thing, since it is now the default version in ports. Over time the pain of mailman's cron spam and forced upgrade will fade ;) -- Mel _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
