pkg_info -ro sgmlformat-1.7_2, I get the following: Information for sgmlformat-1.7_2:
Depends on: Dependency: xmlcatmgr-1.1 Dependency: iso8879-1986_2 Dependency: jade-1.2.1_5 Dependency: linuxdoc-1.1_1 Dependency: docbook-4.1_2 Dependency: docbook-4.0_2 Dependency: docbook-3.1_2
This is from the dockbook-310 port. The _2 is the port revision.
Dependency: docbook-3.0_2 Dependency: docbook-241_2 Dependency: docbook-1.2_1 Origin: textproc/sgmlformat
Or, since docbook already depends on all of those other docbook components, maybe you can just point the dependency at the docbook package....
Do you mean that I can answer the "New dependency?" prompt with Ctrl-Del?
Well... I am not using docbook, so I am not exactly sure. It looks to me
like the docbook port may be a "meta port" to pull in all of those docbook
versions. I am not sure if you have that one installed, or if you just have
all of the pieces.
Is docbook-3.0_2 still registered as installed on your system? I think that
is the one it is looking for. It is possible that when upgrading one of the
others, that one was removed inadvertently.
No, it is not registered as installed. As a matter of fact, none of the docbooks mentioned
are installed except dockbook-xsl-1.62.3. In addition, the sgmlformat port is not installed either.
I see now that a major part of the problem was that I never understood what was
happening when I ran pkgdb -F. And it wasn't until I read your original note a
second time that things became clearer. You wrote:
The dependency is recorded as docbook-3.1_2 and it does not
see that package, so it is suggesting the package it believes is the closest match. (dockbook-xsl-1.62.3)
I always understood that stale dependencies indicated that a change was necessary. In this
situation, the 6 dependencies in question, including the port itself, weren't even registered or installed
yet. I just feel that something is missing here. However, I think I'm ready to move on to the next
step which is how to respond to the prompt:
New dependency? (? to help) :
If you hit "?", you'll see:
[Enter] to skip, [Ctrl] + [D] to delete, [.][Enter] to abort, [Tab] to complete.
I looked at the R-deps listed with the port description and they also correspond to the 6 shown above.
As a result, I feel confident that they should be registerd and installed with the port and not the one
pkgdb suggests, dockbook-xsl-1.62.3. I assume that I can delete dockbook-xsl-1.62.3, but is that what
[Ctrl]+[D] will accomplish? In other words, does "new dependency" refer to the dependent that
it sees as the closest match, dockbook-xsl-1.62.3, or the one that is recorded by the port, docbook-3.1_2?
Which would I be deleting?
Thanks again. Bob
