Subject:   Q about the results of running pkgdb -F

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I just set up a new machine recently, installed a bunch of apps, and 
then went on to portupgrade one particular app - pan. When I ran pkgdb 
-F it first gives this little problem -

Checking the origin of ruby-uri-0.9,1
Stale origin: 'net/ruby-uri'
Guessing... no idea.
New origin? (? to help): ?
[Enter] to skip, [.][Enter] to abort, [Tab] to complete
New origin? (? to help):

pressing [tab] causes the box to beep and that's all, pressing [. enter] 
causes the program to abort and pressing enter it asks Skip This? [yes 
or no]. I don't know what to do here so I hit yes and skip it. Then the 
program continues and I get this on hotjava, which I just installed not 
more than one hour before -

Checking hotjava-3.0
Stale dependency: hotjava-3.0 -> compat3x-i386-4.4.20011227:
New dependency? (? to help):

If I press enter it asks me for a new dependency, what do I do? Do I 
skip it? delete it? hit yes or no or all? So I skip it, and pkgdb 
continues, and then I get quite a few of these -

Regenerating +REQUIRED_BY files
Checking for cyclic dependencies
Checking for origin duplicates
Duplicated origin: devel/gettext - gettext-0.10.35_1 gettext-0.11.1_1
Remove any of them? [no]
Duplicated origin: graphics/gdk-pixbuf - gdk-pixbuf-0.15.0 gdk-pixbuf-0.17.0
Remove any of them? [no]
Duplicated origin: x11-toolkits/gtk12 - gtk-1.2.10_3 gtk-1.2.10_4
Remove any of them? [no]
Duplicated origin: audio/esound - esound-0.2.23 esound-0.2.24
Remove any of them? [no]
Duplicated origin: devel/gnomevfs - gnomevfs-1.0.3 gnomevfs-1.0.5_2
Remove any of them? [no]

Again, what do I do with these? Do I remove the older file listed (based 
on the version number)?

I read the man page and it doesn't appear to answer these questions. 
Does anyone have, or know of any, instructions on just what to do with 
this program? The Handbook doesn't cover pkgdb, and a search on 
freebsd.org turns up no responses.
