Situation: I set up a portal server as per the instructions at their site; it involved installing some PERL modules from CPAN, which I have since learned on FreeBSD appears to be a no no... Now I have some updates to do, but I don't want it to interfere with the web portal software. In theory, the updates should just replace the CPAN stuff where they overlap, no? When I do some updates on software (like ClamAV) that apparently *uses* some of these modules, I get the error: pkg_delete: package bsdpan-MIME-tools-5.411 has no origin recorded pkg_delete: package bsdpan-MailTools-1.62 has no origin recorded pkg_delete: package bsdpan-MIME-tools-5.411 has no origin recorded pkg_delete: package bsdpan-MailTools-1.62 has no origin recorded but these errors aren't enough to keep it from completing the update on the software in question. Portversion is yielding: # portversion | grep -v "=" apache < bsdpan-Archive-Zip < bsdpan-DBD-mysql < bsdpan-DBI < bsdpan-IO-stringy > bsdpan-Lingua-EN-NameParse > bsdpan-MIME-tools # bsdpan-Mail-POP3Client > bsdpan-MailTools # bsdpan-Spreadsheet-WriteExcel > bsdpan-Test-Manifest < bsdpan-URI < bsdpan-Unicode-String < bsdpan-XML-RSS < bsdpan-perl-ldap < expat < ezm3 < libiconv < m4 < openssl < p5-libwww < perl < rc_subr < rsync < ruby < Meaning some PAN modules are of *higher* versions than available through ports? How? Can I safely try upgrading those modules? Has anyone run into something like this before? -Bart
