I redirected all output to a file, which I list below: [root@kabini1, /etc, 6:40:13pm] 333 % cat LIST.pkg-upgrade.May2015.txt Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue... Fetching meta.txz... done Fetching packagesite.txz... done Processing entries... done FreeBSD repository update completed. 23971 packages processed. Checking for upgrades (536 candidates)... done Processing candidates (536 candidates)... done pkg: Cannot solve problem using SAT solver: pkg: cannot find libreoffice in the request pkg: cannot solve job using SAT solver [root@kabini1, /etc, 6:40:16pm] 334 % I had cleaned out the /var/db/pkg/ directory of old repo data & meta data. How do I work around this ? Is this a problem w/ remote repos, or something at my end (possibly including pilot error :-/ ) ? TIA & have a nice weekend .... -- William A.
