I could do a binary upgrade on the base system from 9.1 to 9.2. Next step was to update the ports tree and go over /usr/ports/UPDATING. While processing UPDATING, I have installed pkgng (as suggested). Now, if I issue a "pkg upgrade" command I get hundreds of conflict messages like this: Checking integrity...pkg: WARNING: locally installed perl-5.12.4_4 conflicts on /usr/local/bin/a2p with: - perl5-5.16.3_9 I'm not sure what to do with these. The strangest thing is that none of them are installed: root@backup:~ # perl -version This is perl 5, version 14, subversion 4 (v5.14.4) built for amd64-freebsd I cannot remove these with old package programs: root@backup:~ # pkg_delete perl-5.12.4_4 pkg_delete: no such package 'perl-5.12.4_4' installed Perl 5.12 is not in the ports tree anymore, so cannot delete with "make deinstall". There are hundreds of similar messages for postgresql too: pkg: WARNING: locally installed postgresql93-client-9.3.4 conflicts on /usr/local/bin/droplang with: - postgresql90-client-9.0.17 Actually, postgresql client is not installed on this machine at all. Command exists with error code. I cannot read the actual error message because there are so many warnings that I cannot scroll back. :-( Can you please help me? Where to start? Laszlo
