Is there a way to see which package except lxdvdrip uses samba 4.8?
Yes:
pkg info -r samba48
Maybe I need samba because I use the mount_smbfs command?
No, the
mount_smbfs(8) command is part of FreeBSD's base system and does not require any ports.
Code:
pkg install lxdvdrip
[...]
Installed packages to be REMOVED:
samba47-4.7.12
apache-openoffice-4.1.6_3
gnome-vfs-2.24.4_10
New packages to be INSTALLED:
lxdvdrip: 1.62_17
samba48: 4.8.7
emby-server: 3.5.3.0
transcode: 1.1.7_37
Ok, so it is the
emby-server package that pulls samba48 in. According to the Makefile of the
multimedia/emby-server port, it specifically requires samba48, so it probably wouldn't work with samba47 nor completely without samba.
However, I don't see how emby-server is pulled in. It is apparently not a dependency of transcode or lxdvdrip.
Please try the command
pkg info -r emby-server. It should display which packages require it.
Those I/O warning can be ignored? Same problem of openoffice desinstallation...
Yes. It means that some files could not be removed upon deinstallation, because they're not present. That can happen sometimes. Normally it's nothing to worry about.
I have another question with Port Collection:
I read it is not recommended to mix software installation with pkg and ports?
Well, yes, that's true. It
is possible to mix, but you should do that
only if you know exactly what you're doing. One problem is that your ports collection is probably from a different date than the package repository from which you installed packages. That means it is possible a port was updated between those two dates, which can lead to incompatibilities, especially if dependencies changed. Another important thing to know: Once you built something with non-default options from the Ports Collection, you cannot update it with
pkg(8), because that would pull in the packages with the default options again. Instead, you'll have to update your Ports Collection (e.g. using
portsnap(8)) and rebuild the ports involved. Be aware that this is more work.
Can I do the installation explained by
olli@ without any risk?
That's a tough question. I can't really give you good advice on this one. Yes, there is a certain risk.
Basically, this is the situation:
- The apache-openoffice package pulls in samba47 as a dependency (via the gnome-vfs package).
- The lxdvdrip package pulls in samba48 as a dependency (obviously via the emby-server package, though I don't know why).
- samba47 and samba48 cannot be installed at the same time because of conflicting files.
- Therefore you cannot have both apache-openoffice and lxdvdrip at the same time.
One solution would be to build the
devel/gnome-vfs without samba support. I think this is worth giving a try.
Code:
Remove the existing samba package.
# cd /usr/ports/devel/gnome-vfs
# make config
That command displays a menu with options. Disable the SAMBA option (i.e. remove the checkmark).
# make showconfig
In the output from that command, verify that SAMBA is really “off”.
# make install
That should install gnome-vfs without samba.
# cd /usr/ports/editors/openoffice-4
# make install
Now you should have apache-openoffice installed without samba.
You should now be able to install lxdvdrip without conflict.
However, note that you cannot update your apache-openoffice with
pkg(8) once you have installed it it like that from the Ports Collection; see my remark above about mixinf pkg and ports.
Another solution would be to install one of the two (e.g. lxdvdrip) inside a so-called “jail” environment that has its own
/usr/local, so there is no conflict. However, setting up a jail is somewhat complex if you haven't done that before.
