Reinstalling a package
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-gnome/2010-June/024394.html 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] Thank you, Chris ___ 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

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 ___ 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

If you are going to rebuild libpng and libjpg, you will need to rebuild all ports that depend on those libraries, not just the gnome-specific ports. You might want to have a look at ports-mgmt/portmaster. Also have a look at /usr/ports/UPDATING, entry 20100328 for libpng.

I did that, but my Gnome was from binary and I have been unable to find the old png lib and had to forcebly softlink to the png lib, which although works good enough to start Gnome, it's kind-a unstable (icons are broken, Nautilus chokes many times trying to draw the icon files, etc. etc.). So all I want to do is re-install Gnome from binary in the hopes it will install with it, the corresponding png/jpg libs. I am also a bit scared that the binary package will overwrite my newer libs which were updated from ports, with portmaster in fact.
