The merge worked, an unmerge worked, and a second merge worked. The first merge complained about overwriting a bunch of files, all of them looked perfectly reasonable. There were no other fifferences between the twwo merge log. The resulting /var/db/pkg/... dir had some differences, almost all in what looked to be md5sums. I am working over a slow ssh connection right now, I'll look more into it in a few days. I am rerunning ghc-updater again; that's where this whole thing started. I was sort of hoping the unmerge would hang. Not much to debug now, unless I restore /var/db/pkg ... I'll post more when ghc-updater is done. -- ... _._. ._ ._. . _._. ._. ___ .__ ._. . .__. ._ .. ._.
