Started a thread in the forum too: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=25449 > You should first get a list of all your installed ports that depend on > archivers/xz (pkg_info -Rx xz), then force delete the archivers/xz port > and then rebuild all the ports that linked against it. > pkg_info is unable to find xz package; "$ pkg_info|grep xz" returns nothing. same for pkg_deinstall sudo pkg_deinstall xz ** No matching package found. If I go to xz's directory in ports (under archivers) and try to do make deinstall: xz$ sudo make deinstall ===> Deinstalling for archivers/xz ===> xz not installed, skipping So this also fails as xz is not installed at all, it is in the base itself. I cannot seem to get around the problem as even after I deinstalled evince and installed xpdf "portmaster -a" is still trying to install evince.
