DBD/DBI mismatch

Hi all,

I'm rebuilding a LAPP server, it used to be FreeBSD 8.2 and I've upgraded it to FreeBSD 9.3. So far, so good. The problem is with port/package mismatches. I want to put PostgreSQL 8.4 on it, I have the entire /data directory intact and I want to just drop it into /usr/local/pgsql/ and reboot.

This works, I can see the database with PgAdmin from another machine, it's all there and intact but I can't get the web server to work with it.

I install p5-DBI from either ports, make install, or using pkg install, (I've tried both) and either way I get version 1.631.

Then I try to install p5-DBD-Pg from ports and I get a message that says 'dependency p5-DBI-1.614 not found', it continues and makes it with 1.631 but it doesn't work, I get 'driver not installed' errors from Apache when I try to use the site that connects to the DB.

So I make deinstall p5-DBD-Pg and I install using pkg install p5-DBD-Pg and pkg then wants to uninstall postgresql8.4 and install postgresql9.2.

Weird eh?

Any hints on how to install postgresql8.4 with DBD and DBI on FreeBSD 9.3?
 
You probably need to change the default so ports that depend on it will use the correct version. Add this to /etc/make.conf:
Code: 
DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= pgsql=8.4
See /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.default-versions.mk for more defaults.

NB. You will have to build from ports, packages have set dependencies that cannot be changed at this time.
