Check the >package db integrity with >pkgdb -F. This utility's quite useful and comes with portupgrade port. Yeah, but it's quite confusing. For instance, I upgraded portupgrade and then did portversion: portversion would not run since there was a stale dependency for ruby. Well, what do I do? Do I change the dependency to the oder installed version of ruby and then upgrade ruby? Will that fix the dependency after an upgrade? Or do I portupgrade ruby first and then rerun portversion? - I did the second and then portversion did work. But what If I had done the former? >Get a list of files under /usr/local and /usr/X11R6 that do not >belong to any package: >find /usr/local /usr/X11R6 -type f | xargs pkg_which -v|fgrep '?' Ouch - there's alist of at least 1.5mb just for .../local. What can I do with them? How do I know that they are not in use by a program? Can I delete them? Or what? >and think why if any. Frankly, I cannot imagine what to think. :(( >Check if the installed files have been altered somehow: pkg_info -ga Yeah, tons of MD%c checksum failures.... Does that mean they have been overwritten by more recent installations? Are they still good? Can I delete them? I don't really understand what would cause this overload of garbage, if that is what it is... :)) I am happy to learn how to use the pkg_* tools. I never thought about using them as whatever results I would get, would (and are) pretty meaningless for me as I have no idea of what to do about them. Thanks for any help.
