I'm still exploring freebsd, and i still haven't got a good grasp on 'pkg' ecosystem. on several instances, 'pkg' rendered entire system unusable after installing a package. firefox, xfce DE, and 'x' windows all have been broken before by 'pkg update/upgrade'. coming from Debian, i thought 'pkg' is equivalent to 'apt', but now i know better: 'pkg' is not 'apt', it does more to break system than anything else. it does dependency check only on limited scale, and it does not install all needed dependencies. so why i haven't upgraded? because i don't want to spend several hours to fix a system breaking by 'pkg' again. i've freebsd11 running on two other computers and i dread to install any package with 'pkg', worrying my system will break by it. -erdos -----Original Message----- From: Brad Davis <brd@FreeBSD.org> To: Erdos New <shaojwen@aim.com> Cc: freebsd-pkg <freebsd-pkg@freebsd.org> Sent: Fri, Jan 6, 2017 2:23 pm Subject: Re: pkg : Undefined symbol "openat" On Fri, Jan 06, 2017 at 01:14:54PM -0500, Erdos New via freebsd-pkg wrote: > for now i'd like to stay with 10.1 instead of upgrading to 10.3. Why would you stay with something that is not supported?
