If you want to upgrade package A and it depends on B and C and D: you will have to upgrade all of A, B, C and D. I'm not sure of this but I think pkg_add -f should just install new packages and not remove the older versions. Please check this before trying. Now, assuming that the older version stays put, then all applications that use B, C or D, say for example, another package E depends on D, then E should also work unless the pkg_add doesn't fiddle around with ldconfig to much, like bothering to remove the mapping of the version version and substituting it with the new version, which I don't think it does or should do. E will be using old versions of the B, C and D when used. HTH, chyrag. -- Chirag Kantharia <chyrag@slashetc.net> http://slashetc.net/chyrag/ GCS/IT d- s-:->: a?
