Would the only possibility be that I excluded it from being update by adding it to pkgtools.conf or is there another way to correct this? Text::ParseWords is provided by the basic perl port -- see, no installed package: % pkg_info -Ix ParseWords pkg_info: no packages match pattern(s) but the module is still there: % perl -MText::ParseWords -le 'print $Text::ParseWords::VERSION;' 3.24 What you need to do is force delete the package: # pkg_delete -f p5-Text-ParseWords-3.1 and then run # pkgdb -Fu to fix up the broken dependency linkages. Everything that depended on p5-Text-ParseWords would already depend on perl anyhow, so just delete the dependency if pkgdb can't work it out for itself.

Would the only possibility be that I excluded it from being update by adding it to pkgtools.conf or is there another way to correct this? The first step is find out what happened to it. In this case MOVED tells us this module has moved to core perl. I believe upgrading perl and forcing package delete will do it. You may have to run pkgdb -F to delete the dependencies. You may want to make a note of the packages that depended on it. I believe they will still work after you upgrade perl, but you can rebuild them after perl is upgraded if necessary. -- Lars Eighner http://www.larseighner.com/index.html 8800 N IH35 APT 1191 AUSTIN TX 78753-5266 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
