Problem upgrading (perl)

[myha]

Hi,

I have come upon some problems with upgrading my system... It seems like the problem is in perl modules - I have installed some through cpan and some manually.

[root@server ~]# portupgrade -ai

Have you considered installing them from ports ?

[DutchDaemon]

I was just about to suggest that, but I can't find equivalents for most of the bsdpan modules in the ports tree. I think they must have changed name over time, or they were included in other (meta)ports.

I'd suggest trying a portupgrade -f on each and every of the skipped packages first, one by one. This should solve the non-bsdpan stuff.

After that, consider a pkg_delete -f on the remaing modules, followed by a pkgdb -F to restore lost dependencies.

As a last resort (i.e. if that doesn't produce a result), you could try a portupgrade -rRf perl-5.8.9 to rebuild the entire Perl infrastructure from scratch.

Hi,

well I tried to do portupgrade -fa but it failes with some errors... Also If I try to isntall it through portupgrade nothing happens, manuall build fails:

[root@server /usr/ports/lang/p5-Switch]# portupgrade -f p5-Switch

Otherwise I would like to remove all modules installed via cpan and reinstall them from ports as soon as I manage to solve this. :)

[DutchDaemon]

First try perl-after-upgrade, followed by portupgrade -f p5*. Then see if you can do what I suggested earlier. Your current perl infrastructure is out of sync with its modules. That has to be fixed first.

[myha]

Hi,

well I removed all bsdpan-* modules (through pkg_delete) that were duplicated and were causing problems, I had to recompile the perl and then I ran portupgrade -f p5*. Now everything seems fine...

Thanks for support,
brm

I also have a question relating to problems upgrading perl.
After upgrading the ports tree I run portmaster perl and I get the following apparently endless loop


===>>> Waiting on fetch & checksum for lang/perl5.8 <<<===
BSDPAN-5.8.9.tar.bz2 8171 B 20 kBps
=> defined-or-5.8.9.bz2 doesn't seem to exist in /usr/ports/distfiles/perl.

this same text is repeated and repeated down the screen. I have tried to remove the distfiles and redo portmaster but nothing changes.

[DutchDaemon]

Though I normally use portupgrade, 'portmaster perl' produced no errors here. In other words: it started to build after the checksums were found to be OK. What does a 'make clean && make' in /usr/ports/lang/perl5.8 produce? If there are no errors (and you're running perl-5.8.x already), try 'make deinstall clean && make reinstall clean' from there. If that works, do 'perl-after-upgrade' and a forced upgrade of all p5* ports.

Don't forget to run a pkgdb -F to make sure that any missing CPAN Perl modules are replaced by their ports counterparts.

Thank you for your help, it seems like you have had to answer quite a few threads about perl upgrades lately. I am sorry that I had to be another person asking again, but I was worried about reinstalling perl outside of the comfort with portmaster. (Though I had no problems upgrading perl with portmaster on another almost identical computer, just to double check)

Anyhow.
So far it worked with no problems up to, and including, perl-after-upgrade.
Following the guide http://people.freebsd.org/~tobez/pau.html it says that you should use "pkgdb -F", from what I understand "pkgdb" is part of portupgrade. As I am using portmaster could I use "portmaster --check-depends" instead or should I install portupgrade?

[kasse]

oops(I'm sorry that I cannot find where to edit my posts)
from pkgdb(1):

Actually, pkgdb and pkg_which are the same command, and are equivalent.

[DutchDaemon]

These files are one and the same binary (their inodes match):

ls -ali /usr/local/sbin/pkg_which /usr/local/sbin/pkgdb

[DutchDaemon]

And yes, I guess portmaster --check-depends does the same thing as pkgdb -F as far as checking (severed) dependencies goes. I don't know whether portmaster presents you with a dialog to fix these dependencies on the fly, like pkgdb does.

[kasse]

Thanks I believe it is working now. It seems like you are the real "portmaster"!
I am sorry that this turned into another perl&portupgrade thread, but I thought portmaster was safer and less prone to fail.

[DutchDaemon]

You're welcome. Hope this thread benefits all who ran/run into Perl upgrade woes.

Using 7.0-CURRENT FreeBSD
This is either a very old system, or you actually meant 8.0-CURRENT.

I see you're installing perl 5.10. Is 5.8 still installed?

[Ravage]

result is always same trying portupgrading 5.9 or to 5.10
yea system is a lil old, but can't upgrade it, cause i'm out of country, if something breaks then... ehemmm

[SirDice]

7.0-CURRENT went RELEASE quite a some time ago (feb. 2008), -STABLE is currently at 7.2 and -CURRENT is 8.0. Also there's no Perl 5.9. Please post the correct versions.

When trying to install perl, try removing the old one first.

[Ravage]

oh my bad...

[SirDice]

The failure is somewhere before that. Please post the entire output.

[DutchDaemon]

Also post the output of pkg_info | grep perl-. It's getting unclear which version you have installed. Have you tried a straight upgrade, e.g. portupgrade/portmaster -o?

[Ravage]

updated to 7.2-RELEASE and rebuilt all ports... now everything ok... lucky me :D
