sysutils/gnome-volume-manager

[z0ran]

i have a problem to update my ports because of gnome-volume-manager. After portversion -voL = i have this:

sysutils/gnome-volume-manager ? error - origin not found


now, the handbook tells me that "?" -The installed package cannot be found in the ports index. (This can happen, for instance, if an installed port is removed from the Ports Collection or renamed.)..anyway, i cannot install or remove package..any idea please how to deal with this?
And this is error when the update stops:

===>>> The sysutils/gnome-volume-manager port has been deleted: This port has been obsoleted by Nautilus
===>>> Aborting update

Terminated

So delete (pkg_delete -f) the port, and run the port upgrade again.

[z0ran]

% pkg_delete -f gnome-volume-manager
pkg_delete: no such package 'gnome-volume-manager' installed

but i deleted it after i ran pkgdb -F...anyway, thanks a lot DutchDaemon, and one more thing, i like to apologize to admin to started new thread on wrong place.

You have to use the full package name, like printed by pkg_info (with version)
e.g. pkg_delete firefox-3.0.8,1
or using glob
pkg_delete firefox\*
or regexp
pkg_delete -x firefox

I also suggest you to always use the -i option.
