I would like to upgrade my linux_base from 5.2 to 6.1 but am a bit concerned that its dependencies will clobber some already-installed ports of the same name. For instance, linux_base wants to download a bash rpm, but I've already got bash installed from the ports tree. Will this rpm clobber my bash port, or will all be OK because it goes into /compat/linux/bin? The same goes with other rpms, like info. Can I just remove the linux_base package and then install the new one? There is no package listing for dependencies that I may have to remove first. Another question: With linux_base installed can I then just grab rpms, install them, and use them? The xfstt maintainer recommended I use the linux xfstt instead of the BSD version, so should I just grab the xfstt*.rpm and viola? -- David Kanter djkanter@nwu.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
