Hi ! I did encounter a xorgproto conflict as, mentioned in /ports/Updating. And was able to solve the porblem with the information relating to that issue. (Delete xorgproto and install again). (x11/xorgproto conflicts with glproto-1.4.17) I'm running Freebsd on Vmware and i had vmware-tools installed, when i decided to install open-vmware-tools. I was then concurrently updating my packages with portmaster. So I deleted vmware-tools, installed open-vmware, and finally reinstalled xf86-video-vmware xf86-input-vmmouse with pkg. When installing xf86-video-vmware xf86-input-vmmouse (can't remember which one) pkg deleted xorgproto-2018.4, and installed an earlier version of xorgproto. This resulted in that i had an the same error over again(portmaster stopped with an error at firefox), with xorgproto as mentioned above. Portmasterfail.txt left me with a list of ports not finished, and to be resumed later on, and at the very end of that list xf86-video-vmware and xf86-input-vmmouse are included. My question is vill open-vm-tools work if i delete xorgproto and reinstall xorgproto-2018.4 , and if i then resume updating the ports with portmaster, will it delete xorgproto-2018.4 and install an earlier version when it reaches video-vmware or xf86-input-vmmouse (now with ports and not with pkg)? If does I will have to delete xorgproto again and install it anew, and it is 900 mb to recompile (together with packages deleted that use xorgproto). I have left my system as it is and I don't really know what to do besides deleting open-vm-tools which I want to keep. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 20180731: AFFECTS: users of x11/xorg and all ports with USE_XORG=*proto AUTHOR: zeising@FreeBSD.org The xorg *proto packages have all been merged into one package, x11/xorgproto. This might cause issues with upgrading. If you get conflicts between xorgproto and old *proto packages, please remove the old package and install xorgproto again. In order to remove all orphaned ports, including all *proto port, the following can be used after the ports tree has been updated: pkg version -l \? | cut -f 1 -w | grep -v compat | xargs pkg delete -fy -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi! This sounds very much like open-vmware-tools hasn't been updated properly. Are you building your packages yourself or using the official packages? open-vm-tools has been updated to use xorgproto. I recently changed the dependency on xorgproto to be a build time only dependency, I'm not sure the package builders have caught up to this change. It is possible to delete it using pkg -f, things should work anyway. You should also be careful with mixing packages from pkg and building yourself. Regards -- Niclas
