pkgdb warning message
When running the following command: pkgdb -Fv, I receive the following message: Duplicated origin: devel/libtool15 - libtool-1.5.22_1 libtool-1.5.22_2 Unregister any of them? [no] I am unsure of what action to take, therefore I have chosen the default [no] one suggested. Would it be prudent to delete one of these duplicates, and if so does it matter which one? -- Gerard Seibert [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP: http://www.seibercom.net/sig/gerard.asc ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If it was me, I would think that when libtool-1.5.22_1 was upgraded to libtool-1.5.22_2, the registration for libtool-1.5.22_1 wasn't removed from the database properly. So, yes, it would be best to delete the registration of libtool-1.5.22_2 through pkgdb -F. Answer [no] yes cr and get rid of it.

Would it be prudent to delete one of these duplicates, and if so does it matter which one? /usr/ports/UPDATING: 20060223: AFFECTS: all ports using libtool as part of the build process AUTHOR: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The way in which ports that require libtool to build has been completely reworked to bring the ports system in line with other environments, such as Linux, and pkgsrc. devel/libtool13 no longer exists. devel/libtool15 has been modified to (a) install in the canonical locations and (b) remove a number of long-standing FreeBSD-specific patches that resulted in a very different libtool than is present on other systems. The main visible change will be that a large number of ports have had their plists modified (we now install libtool .la archives) and, as such, PORTREVISIONS have been bumped on ~2000 ports (roughly 1/7th of the tree). Unfortunately, there is no simple upgrade path. Short of removing all packages and reinstalling from scratch, the only other viable alternative would be careful use of portupgrade. Given the large number of different ways in which libtool is used by other ports in the tree, this is a process that is likely to vary considerably from system to system, and as such, folks should be very mindful of running automatic updating software, such as portupgrade, making extensive use of the -n flag (and equivalents for other updaters) to see what will actually be rebuilt, before actually performing the upgrade. The good news is that the system now in place will make the handling of libtool-using ports considerably easier going forward. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Therefore, I would recommend removing *both* of them. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
