The way net-snmp installed pkg also activated it without doing a pkg2ng; since this happened in the middle of a portupgrade part of the portupgrade kept its records the old way and the rest the new way without any of the old ports in the database. This made a lot of things build twice. Not very nice...

No, the way I read the makefile lines in question it installed it if it wasn't already installed.. See: # pkg-1.2 cannot handle this dependency well. .if !defined(WITH_PKGNG) LIB_DEPENDS= libpkg.so:${PORTSDIR}/ports-mgmt/pkg .endif This will install if it is there or not, but only if it is NOT in use. Probably not what was intended. -- Pete _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
