Description Torfinn Ingolfsen 2005-12-11 18:20:03 UTC 

'portupgrade -R linux_base-8' fails. After deinstalling linux_base-8, 'portinstall -R linux_base-8' also fails.
Old version of linux_base-8 was 8.0_9, new version is:
root@kg-quiet# portversion -v | grep linux_base
linux_base-8-8.0_10         =  up-to-date with port

Fix: 

No fix known (by submitter) at this time.
Workaround:
- deinstall linux_base-8
- install it manually:
cd /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base-8
make install
How-To-Repeat: 

Use FreeBSD 6.0 / amd64 (I don't know if this problem exists on other archs)

Try 'portinstall -R linux_base-8', or if you have linux_base-8 installed already, try 'portupgrade -R linux_base-8'.
(Obviously, this requires that you have a not up to date  version installed)

You haven't shown anything about how it fails.  Can you describe the  
mode of failure, and provide the relevant parts of a build log?

Sorry about that, too hasty of me. It is the install script / install part of
the port that fails. Here is the relevant part of the output:
===>  Patching for linux_base-8-8.0_10
===>   linux_base-8-8.0_10 depends on executable: rpm - found
===>  Configuring for linux_base-8-8.0_10
--->  Installing the new version via the port
===>  Installing for linux_base-8-8.0_10
===>   Generating temporary packing list
===>  Checking if emulators/linux_base-8 already installed

The strange part (for me) is that this doesn't happen when I install the port
manually.

I hope this is what you wanted, if not, feel free to ask more questions.
