>Description:
I pkg_delete'd most of the tex & jade related stuff to do a fresh install.
I did a 'sudo pkgdb -Ff' to clean up the package database; this left some
ports with dangling dependencies on tex-related packages.
Attempting to do all the installs using portupgrade gave me this (after
about a minute(!) at 97% CPU utilization):
[alane ~]$ portupgrade -PPRNrsv jadetex
[You have no permission to update the pkgdb -- using a slow method]
... really heavy CPU burning here ...
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6/pkginfo.rb:30:in `initialize': failed to convert PkgInfo into String (TypeError)
from /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade:610:in `new'
from /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade:610:in `main'
from /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade:609:in `each'
from /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade:609:in `main'
from /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade:186:in `initialize'
from /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade:186:in `new'
from /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade:186:in `main'
from /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade:1609
So I made sure my ruby ports were up-to-date, and upgraded portupgrade to the
lastest (from the port).
[alane ~]$ pkg_info -I -x portupgrade
portupgrade-20020126 Very powerful FreeBSD ports/packages upgrading tool and mor[alane ~]$ pkg_info -I -x ruby
ruby-1.6.6 An object-oriented interpreted scripting language
ruby-fnmatch-1.1b_1 A Ruby module which provides File::fnmatch and File::FNM_*
ruby-optparse-0.8.6 Yet another command line option parser for Ruby
No change. Same slow death. So what is happening here? If it's because of
the dangling (i.e., "yes" to "skip this?") dependencies in the package db,
then shouldn't a message to that effect be printed?
