Strange thing happened after I upgraded to 7.2-RELEASE. After my portupgrade, I tried to get compiz-fusion working and had some issues. portversion showed all my apps up to date, so I thought I'd deinstall and reinstall x11-wm/compiz-plugins-main (0.8.2) to see if that would correct the issue.
When I make deinstall clean I get:
and yet when I reinstall...
So I deinstall and clean again. Okay... so try the binary then?
And yet...
I'm at a bit of a loss. I've already run portsclean, but
that hasn't help convince FreeBSD to allow the install. I might try using FORCE_PKG_REGISTER, but that doesn't mean the problem is solved. Any idea why this might happen?
Thanks in advance!
When I make deinstall clean I get:
Code:
===> Deinstalling for x11-wm/compiz-plugins-main
===> Cleaning for compiz-plugins-main-0.8.2
and yet when I reinstall...
Code:
===> Checking if x11-wm/compiz-plugins-main already installed
===> An older version of x11-wm/compiz-plugins-main is already installed (compiz-fusion-plugins-main-0.7.8)
You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again
by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly.
If you really wish to overwrite the old port of x11-wm/compiz-plugins-main
without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER"
in your environment or the "make install" command line.
