Hi list,
i use
# portmanager -s|grep OLD | sort -t: -k2
occasionally to see which ports need upgrading. Ports tree is cvsup'ed
each night.
Today the above command seemed to take forever and also gave an error
message:
MGPMrTimer timeout started signal -=>14
When i hit ^C i got:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [~] # pkg_delete: unexec command for 'rm -f
/usr/X11R6/man/cat1/xset.1.gz /usr/X11R6/man/cat1/xset.1
/usr/X11R6/man/cat1/xset.1.gz /usr/X11R6/man/cat1/xset.1.gz.gz
/usr/X11R6/man/cat1/xset.1.gz.bz2' failed
pkg_delete: couldn't entirely delete package (perhaps the packing list is
incorrectly specified?)
I then noticed that almost *all* X11 manpages had been deleted. :-(
The portmanager manpage reads:
o -s or --status
status of installed ports
My Question: how is it possible that this command *deletes* any ports?
I am aware that there have been big changes to X11 recently, but
nevertheless, something like this should not happen.
Or is there anything that i have missed?
Kind regards,
--
