When I ran "pkg_add -Dsnap -u" earlier I was greeted with screen after screen of output along the lines of:

Virtually no packages appeared to update themselves. Confused, I tried "pkg_delete -a", and reran pkg_add, but the same problem reoccurred. Running it again I noticed a tiny line at the very beginning that seemed to contain a clue: $ doas pkg_add -u -Dsnap quirks-3.142 signed on 2019-05-07T18:36:32Z [python-3.5.3]python-3.6.8p0->python-3.6.8p2+python-3.7.3p0: internal conflict between python-3.7.3p0 and python-3.5.3 Can't install glib2-2.58.3p8->2.60.2: can't resolve python-3.7.3p0 ... After running "pkg_delete python-3.5.3" (upon which nothing seemed to depend), "pkg_add -Dsnap -u" then worked fine. So it seems that the presence of the python-3.5.3 package a) stopped pkg_add -u being able to do anything useful b) caused it to keep trying to update packages even though it couldn't (and obscuring the real source of the error). Unfortunately I didn't think to save the state of my packages before this, so I can't easily replicate my setup :/ Laurie -- Personal http://tratt.net/laurie/ Software Development Team http://soft-dev.org/ https://github.com/ltratt http://twitter.com/laurencetratt
