I don't think any of this is very relevant - except as general background . The problem as I see it is that he is installing packages that aren't built from the same tree. One of the dependencies of xf86-video-fbdev-0.4.2 was built when perl 5.10 was the default and one after the default switched to perl 5.12. If building isn't an option then it's better to stick to one release trees at a time. That still leave the problem to dealing with vulnerabilities as best you can, but there is not a simple answer. _______________________________________________ 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"
