upgrade package questions
Hello All, Could someone please tell me how to upgrade a package over the web? What I mean is that i have used /stand/sysinstall configure Pachages which allowed me to choose ftp://ftp1.freebsd.org to install a package from but now I need to manually upgrade a package Gettext 0.13.? I think that it was over to Gettext 0.14.? What would be the command like way to do this? Thanks, Lonnie ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The -r option of pkg_add allows you to get remote packages. So you could first forcibly deinstall the old package with 'pkg_delete -f', and than get the new one with 'pkg_add -r'. And then you should fix the package database dependancies with 'pkgdb -F', I think. Personally, I find it easier to use the portupgrade program, because not everything is available as a package, and it takes care of the messy detail.
