Hello, I have two problems with pkg_delete. I upgraded a version of dillo that I had using pkg_upgrade and following this, a shared object in the elf.so library is can't be found. I believe it's object libintl.so. Why did this happen? Some programs won't load because they need that shared object. If I pkg_delete and pkg_install the programs they work fine. What can I do so that I don't have to do this for my entire system? 2nd more egregious problem. As noted above, I had to reinstall gnucash. It told me that python 2.2.1 wasn't installed (by install I always mean pkg_add). I installed it and pkg_info told me that I have two versions of it installed. I wanted to clear that up, so I iuninstalled 1. I then added a directory in the /appropriate var directory to try and dupe pkg_delete into thinking it could delete the 2nd one. Following this episode, something deleted a significant number of packages on my system. I didn't find out until rebooting that it also deleted bash which is my shell. I can't log onto the system because the system can't find bash. Why did the packages tools delete all these other packages and what can be done to stop it?
