It seems I've a brick wall [too many ports to use pkg effectively ] -- [ = 3551 ]=20 and too many need ' pkg lock ' in ' v11 ' for ino64 fixes, 12.0-CURRENT, an= d quite a few others fail to build from ports, either compiler, so are also 'pkg lock ' o= r in a few instances binaries/trees copied from other installs, so that my DESKTOP can= continue running a if it were 2003 Microsoft based, vs 2004 Freebsd January based, w= here a reinstall seems in order OR, I should just sit and wait til 13.0-CURRENT and proceed = that way. .................. Meantime, how is the following as a workaround mv /usr/src /src-2017 mv /usr/obj /obj-2017 mkdir -p /usr/src mkdir -p /usr/obj cd /usr/src bw, etc .................... or ..................... [ clean install ] mount -t ufs /dev/gpt/2004root /mnt-root mount -t ufs /dev/gpt/2004var /mnt-var mount -t ufs /dev/gpt/2004tmp /mnt-tmp mount -t ufs /dev/gpt/2004usr /mnt-usr into which I surmise an installworld would fail as multiple DESTDIRS are i= ncluded.=20 ................. nullfs ? ............... Revert to all-in-one / system, no /var /tmp /usr? ............. or some new install=20 ............. None of these are plans as of yet, save proceeding without any upgrade wh= atsoever. I recall unpacking base.txz [etc] to fix a failing installworld in the recent past, = so any foolproof method of that would also be welcome. But I suspect much would remain undo= ne,=20 initial *proper* setup of /etc/mail, /etc/groups, as well as the loss of fi= ne-tunings I've done over the past 13 years or so, if it were done preplanned as a new-then= -rsync-the-old system-over-it sort of reinstall [ not looking forward to undoing years of= week-by-week this-rc that-rc fixups... newbie in so many areas who just copy-paste= d the work of others into this system, to excellent, usually effect. ]=20 ..............=20 Apologies for the email that went on three times longer [ more verbose ]= than I planned, sort of making its Subject: a misstatement of the body of the email. ...................... ...................=
