+----[ Joe Marcus Clarke <marcus@FreeBSD.org> (26.Aug.2003 02:06): | | State-Changed-Why: | Can you send me the output of ls -ld /var/db/pkg (or whatever your PKGDB is | set to). I would also like to see the output of pkg_info -q -O devel/gettext. | Also, with what user do you build ports? | +----] pi# ls -ld /var/db/pkg/ drwxr-xr-x 401 root wheel 10752 Aug 25 11:51 /var/db/pkg/ pi# echo $PKGDB PKGDB: Undefined variable. pi# pkg_info -q -O devel/gettext pkg_info: /var/db/pkg/imake-4.2.0_1/+CONTENTS: No such file or directory Marcus, thanks for your questions. Now I can see that my problems are perhaps with PKGDB or with my /var/db/pkg tree. I'm inclined to suspect that the latter is the cause of my install problems. I'm using the default of /var/db/pkg ... should PKGDB be set? Now with the error with pkg_info. There is no +CONTENTS file for imake-4.2..., if I create one (touch +CONTENTS) now pkg_info says: pi# pkg_info -q -O devel/gettext pkg_info: package imake-4.2.0_1 has no origin recorded pkg_info: /var/db/pkg/tcl-8.0.5/+CONTENTS: No such file or directory Now tcl-8.0.5 has no +CONTENTS file ... should I go on like this? Perhaps I should run pkg_delete -f on all ports that show problems in /var/db/pkg and then reinstall them? If the problem is /var/db/pkg ... can I make a backup and recreate it? From what I've read it appears that this is not possible ... I'm just checking. Thanks for pointing your questions to the problem. Fernan -- F e r n a n A g u e r o http://genoma.unsam.edu.ar/~fernan
