Portmaster installed ports, but I haven't manually installed any packages using the 'pkg' command. Is that what you mean?

Thanks, but as I mentioned, one (identically configured) other machine doesn't issue that warning. So still a bit of a puzzle...

Yes, I've already tried twice # make -C /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portmaster config clean build deinstall install and confirmed PKGNGPATCH box was checked. Same problem. And then attempting to run pkg2ng again complains of corrupted formats, since it uses pkg_info. So I'm still stuck.

On two servers, I followed the instructions for updating to pkgng, with portmaster: # portsnap fetch update # make -C /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portmaster config clean build deinstall install # echo "WITH_PKGNG=yes" >> /etc/make.conf # pkg2ng Now, one machine updates with portmaster without...

Thanks. So, to be clear: portsnap is orthogonal to pkgng and safe to continue to use (with the additional change you've noted)?

Hi, I switched yesterday to pkgng, using the portmaster version of the directions in UPDATING. I've always had portsnap -I cron update && pkg_version -vIL= in cron to email me with needed updates, but of course that is broken now. What is the proper replacement for it? Thanks

Thank you!

I have several servers running 6.1 (with internet connectivity) which I would like to upgrade to 8.2. freebsd-update didn't become part of the ports distribution until 6.2 and now, apparently, freebsd-update requires minimal 6.3 to cover security updates. Do I need to manually upgrade each...

Hi, I have six servers running 6.1-RELEASE. I'd like to perform binary upgrades to 8.2-RELEASE. My understanding is that freebsd-update didn't become available until 6.2-RELEASE. Does that mean I need to do a 2-step upgrade (6.1 to 6.2 and then use freebsd-update to get to 8.2)? I'm...

Thank you , wblock. I tried binutils on one server, but it didn't solve the problem.

Hi, I have the same problem on four servers running 6.1-RELEASE FreeBSD when, after portsnap fetch update I try to portmaster -a The libxml2 upgrade gives an error: ./configure.lineno: 14571: Syntax error: Bad substitution ===> Script "configure" failed unexpectedly. I've run...
