Hey fellow FreeBSD users. I've just returned from a week off, and must have left my brain in Orlando, because I can't for the life of me figure out how to fix this problem.
Upon my return, I upgraded my ports tree, and noticed that portaudit had several new packages listed with security issues. Including jdk1.5 and portupgrade. Well, as usual, I unset JAVA_HOME and ran the portupgrade on jdk and several other packages listed. As always, I used the -RN flags to make sure any dependencies were upgraded as well. I saved the majority of packages to upgrade a little at a time. They all went off without a hitch, except for the jdk15 port. The portupgrade port upgraded first, but I don't imagine the new tool is the one used in the subsequent upgrades. Normally, I upgrade portupgrade first on its own, but this time I didn't. Now, I have several stale dependencies for the jdk15 port. The jdk itself is there, but it's not registered. I tried to force the upgrade (portupgrade -fN) but it fails saying that /usr/local/jdk1.5.0/bin/java is already registered - but not the package. I then tried pkg_info -W /usr/local/jdk1.5.0/bin/java, but it comes back with no output. pkg_which simply returns a '?'. pkgdb -u doesn't seem to do anything. So I've somehow bonked something quite thoroughly. Any suggestions on how best to fix this - preferably without deleting all or most of the packages I have installed?
