Hi,
Just ran my weekly cvsup program followed by portsbd -Uu. Tried running portversion -l and received a message indicating that I should run pkgdb -F to deal with a stale dependency.
Stale dependency: sgmlformat-1.7_2 -> docbook-3.1_2 (textproc/docbook-310):
docbook-xsl-1.62.3 (score:43%) ? ([y]es/[n]o/[a]ll) [no]
My understanding here is that the port has recorded docbook-3.1_2, as the new dependency but the one installed is docbook-xsl-1.62.3. And, if I select "no" the new dependency will be recognized as the correct one. I ran pkg_info on the sgmlformat-1.7_2 port and found the following:
R-deps: docbook-1.2_1 docbook-241_2 docbook-3.0_2 docbook-3.1_2 docbook-4.0_2 do cbook-4.1_2 iso8879-1986_2 jade-1.2.1_5 linuxdoc-1.1_1 xmlcatmgr-1.1
I assumed that the 6 docbooks now replaced docbook-xsl-1.62.3 (?) and returned to the prompt in the pkgdb program and indicated "no". This was followed by:
New dependency? (? to help):
Wasn't sure how to respond, so I aborted the program and ran pkgdb -Fa which didn't fix the dependencies either. It did, however repeat the stale dependency prompt for all 6 of the docbook dependencies shown above.
Can anyone help me understand what the program is looking for at the new dependency prompt? I was about to respond with a delete command but wasnt' sure what I would be deleting (No guts). I did backup /var/db/pkg.
If this not the appropriate forum, I apologize.
Thank you.
