In the process of updating ports, apache-ant has already been reinstalled. I had installed kaffe when I removed jdk*; but apache-ant now seems to depend on diablo-jdk. earth% pkg_info -r diablo-jdk-1.5.0.07.01_8 Information for diablo-jdk-1.5.0.07.01_8: Depends on: Dependency: xtrans-1.0.4 Dependency: xproto-7.0.10_1 Dependency: xextproto-7.0.2 Dependency: javavmwrapper-2.3 earth% cat /var/db/pkg/diablo-jdk-1.5.0.07.01_8/+REQUIRED_BY apache-ant-1.7.0_1 earth%=20 At least I do not yet see java_vm (which seems to have been the culprit in cases where I was able to get back into the system) yet reappearing. When I encountered difficulty this morning, I had left both firefox and an ports upgrade running. In the past, I had associated the problem with a java script from Blackboard at the university where I attend and teach, but in the situation this morning, I had not invoked that script. So I'm guessing that java_vm had been invoked by apache-ant which previously depended on jdk* rather than diablo-jdk*. I am wondering if I have any reason to believe that diablo-jdk is sufficiently different from jdk to avoid the problem. --=20 David Benfell, LCP benfell@parts-unknown.org --- Resume available at http://www.parts-unknown.org/ NOTE: I sign all messages with GnuPG (0DD1D1E3). --VS++wcV0S1rZb1Fb Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFHRmaEUd+dMw3R0eMRAlX9AJ0ToLwcn4JcSJBDFSRLd0Ty3RFDZwCgl3qT GYe/2b4wqxwGt2a6vhGheQ8= =o7oH -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --VS++wcV0S1rZb1Fb--
