My guess is that his probs will be solved by the above. Ok, so it took a while and I'm still reviewing some other issues. The real problem is that the error msg sends all on a wild goose chase. I got it updated but the problem had absolutely nothing to do with perl, djvu, and their threads. After some scratching about with configs and Makefiles, I discover there is an option not selected (not sure why) dealing with ImageMagick's threads- not perls or djvus! Now, IF those options are selected (and remember this is an upgrade) why not assume threads and print an info msg saying so? And why does the error msg not even allude to this instead of sending everyone on a chase after a mythical error that is not even the fault of the dependency? Thanks for the hints guys, but I'm now trying to figure a method that may resolve this type of issue in the future- I remember using dialog boxes in extremely old installs of linux (and BSD packages I think) that automatically selects or deselects based on a selections required/incompatible dependencies. That would save hours of fart-arsing about for many- even searching for known answers takes time, easily resolved if something stable can be figured this way.

Try running 'portmaster --check-depends', then retry the update. If it still fails, then choose one or more of the php5 modules that fails and do a forced update of it and all of its dependencies: eg # portmaster -f php5-mcrypt-5.3.3_2 This will re-install quite a lot of packages, so be prepared for it to take a while. Something like this list, although details will vary depending on your configuration: #pkg_info -rRx php5-mcrypt Information for php5-mcrypt-5.3.4: Depends on: Dependency: expat-2.0.1_1 Dependency: openssl-1.0.0_4 Dependency: libmcrypt-2.5.8 Dependency: perl-5.10.1_3 Dependency: pkg-config-0.25_1 Dependency: pcre-8.10 Dependency: libltdl-2.2.10 Dependency: mysql-client-5.1.54_1 Dependency: db48-4.8.30.0 Dependency: libiconv-1.13.1_1 Dependency: libxml2-2.7.8_1 Dependency: apr-ipv6-devrandom-db48-mysql51-1.4.2.1.3.10 Dependency: apache-2.2.17_1 Dependency: php5-5.3.4 After that you should be able to finish off the updates as usual. Oh -- beware of the extension.ini ordering problem. If php starts crashing on you after the update, it's probably because the order of the modules in /usr/local/etc/php/extensions.ini has changed and needs to be edited back to something workable.

I think the OP knows that already. The question is: will LibreOffice be available on FreeBSD? The answer is "almost certainly, yes: just as soon as the LibreOffice project releases anything worth porting." This doesn't mean that OpenOffice.org will be dropped from ports. So long as it continues to be available without restrictive licensing or redistribution terms -- even if it does turn into pay-ware -- then it should still be available. Will LibreOffice become the official FreeBSD Office application? No, because FreeBSD doesn't have an *official* office application. It may well become the recommended or the most popular or the most fashionable office application in the fullness of time, but that's entirely down to the free choice of users.

portmaster problems upgrading to php 5.3.4
Hi there, I'm having problems upgrading my php installation using the ports tree. I use the latest version of portmaster on FreeBSD 8.1-release inside a jail, with all patches. I'm trying to upgrade from php 5.3.3_2 to the new php 5.3.4 to fix a security vulnerability. Here is the problem. When upgrading my PHP, some of the dependencies fail because they are "already installed". If I manually remove those port-installed packages it continues to build past this point but then the script breaks again with a later dependency. So the error below is just one example of several I've encountered during the attempted upgrade of a port. In the past this was never an issue because portmaster is smart and would recursively install/reinstall all required packages for me automatically. Something has changed now because this functionality is no longer working for me. I issue the command: dev:/#portmaster -t -d php5 [...large amount of compilation data for php and various supporting packages removed...] ===> Installing for libltdl-2.2.10 ===> Generating temporary packing list ===> Checking if devel/libltdl already installed ===> libltdl-2.2.10 is already installed You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly. If you really wish to overwrite the old port of devel/libltdl without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER" in your environment or the "make install" command line. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/devel/libltdl. ===>>> Installation of libltdl-2.2.10 (devel/libltdl) failed ===>>> Aborting update ===>>> Update for devel/libltdl failed ===>>> Aborting update ===>>> Update for php5-mcrypt-5.3.3_2 failed ===>>> Aborting update Terminated At this point I am half-way upgraded only. Here is what "pkg_version -v" shows now for php: dev:/#pkg_version -v php5-5.3.4 = up-to-date with port php5-ctype-5.3.4= up-to-date with port php5-curl-5.3.4 = up-to-date with port php5-dom-5.3.4 = up-to-date with port php5-extensions-1.4 = up-to-date with port php5-filter-5.3.4 = up-to-date with port php5-hash-5.3.4 = up-to-date with port php5-iconv-5.3.4= up-to-date with port php5-json-5.3.4 = up-to-date with port php5-mcrypt-5.3.3_2 < needs updating (port has 5.3.4) php5-mysql-5.3.3_2 < needs updating (port has 5.3.4) php5-openssl-5.3.3_2< needs updating (port has 5.3.4) php5-pdo-5.3.3_2< needs updating (port has 5.3.4) php5-pdo_sqlite-5.3.3_2 < needs updating (port has 5.3.4) php5-posix-5.3.3_2 < needs updating (port has 5.3.4) php5-session-5.3.3_2< needs updating (port has 5.3.4) php5-simplexml-5.3.3_2 < needs updating (port has 5.3.4) php5-sqlite-5.3.3_2 < needs updating (port has 5.3.4) php5-tokenizer-5.3.3_2 < needs updating (port has 5.3.4) php5-xml-5.3.3_2< needs updating (port has 5.3.4) php5-xmlreader-5.3.3_2 < needs updating (port has 5.3.4) php5-xmlwriter-5.3.3_2 < needs updating (port has 5.3.4) php5-zlib-5.3.3_2 < needs updating (port has 5.3.4) Fortunately the security vulnerability appears to be gone now, at least: dev:/#portaudit -Fa auditfile.tbz 100% of 64 kB 64 kBps New database installed. 0 problem(s) in your installed packages found. So I'm probably fine but I'd like to get everything upgraded to the same version one day soon.

Re: portmaster problems upgrading to php 5.3.4
I should also mention that I have an almost-identical server running FreeBSD 7.3-release-p2 in backup production and did not experience these problems when upgrading from php 5.3.3_2 to php 5.3.4. Something in my 8.1-release development server is causing the problems with upgrading PHP, so I'm reluctant to upgrade my production servers as they are absolutely identical until I find a fix.

Racoon.conf
I have a network with several locations using Gif tunnels with IPSEC. I've been using racoon and it has been working properly. It seems silly to keep having to put sections inside my racoon.conf file. remote EXTERNAL_IP1 { exchange_mode main, aggressive; doi ipsec_doi; my_identifier address; nonce_size 16; lifetime time 8 hour; # sec,min,hour initial_contact on; proposal_check obey;# obey, strict or claim proposal { encryption_algorithm 3des; hash_algorithm md5; authentication_method pre_shared_key; dh_group 2 ; lifetime time 28800 sec; } } The example above shows the one location. I pretty much copy/paste this and then change the ips accordingly and it works. Is this the proper way to go about this? I've tried doing things like xx.xx.xx.xx/8 but racoon will not accept that. I've also tried to do my_identifier "x.x.x.x" "x.x.x.x" and in different variables but it returns a error.

Problem with 'portsnap'
For the past few days, I have been having problems updating my ports tree via 'portsnap'. It continually gives errors similar to the following: Looking up portsnap.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 5 mirrors found. Fetching snapshot tag from portsnap2.FreeBSD.org... failed. Fetching snapshot tag from portsnap6.FreeBSD.org... failed. Fetching snapshot tag from portsnap1.FreeBSD.org... failed. Fetching snapshot tag from portsnap5.FreeBSD.org... failed.

Oh, I didn't intend for you to do that. (This particular problem shouldn't arise if perl support is disabled.) I meant to show the output of 'make -C $PORTSDIR/graphics/ImageMagick -V PERL_THREADED', 'make -C $PORTSDIR/graphics/ImageMagick showconfig', and 'perl --version' on a system where the build failed if you didn't define PERL_THREADED manually.
