Hi Gang,
A total noob here with FreeBSD, but am liking it so far. I went to run
portupgrade for the first time and encountered quite a few problems. I have
googled around and found some of my answers, but it's been slow going. For
example:
cairo# portupgrade -aF
cd: can't cd to /usr/ports/devel/gnu-autoconf
** Package 'gnu-autoconf' has been removed from ports tree.
So one possibility I read to fix something like this is to uninstall and
resintall it. This yields the following result:
cairo# pkg_info | grep gnu-autoconf
gnu-autoconf-2.59 Automatically configure source code on many Un*x
platforms
cairo# pkg_deinstall gnu-autoconf-2.59
---> Deinstalling 'gnu-autoconf-2.59'
pkg_delete: package 'gnu-autoconf-2.59' is required by these other packages
and may not be deinstalled:
gnu-automake-1.9.6
kde-3.5.4
kdevelop-3.3.4
** Listing the failed packages (*:skipped / !:failed)
! gnu-autoconf-2.59 (pkg_delete failed)
---> Packages processed: 0 done, 0 ignored, 0 skipped and 1 failed
So how do I fix this? Is there a HOW-TO or tutorial on a webpage out there
that will help me learn how to fix these things? The handbook makes no
mention of how to resolve these issues... unless I missed something?
TIA
Donovan
