Solved Error when executing pkg update

[GVitaliy]

FreeBSD-13.0-RELEASE-p11 amd64 guest on VirtualBox 6.1.34

The

pkg update

command generates an error and stops the update –

Running the command again has no result.

A bit of a bruteforce solution: rm -rf /usr/local/include/KF5/GrantleeTheme

Wait, are you attempting to upgrade as an unprivileged user?

I am using

sudo pkg update

 

[zirias@]

Yeah, I'm aware this was an option, as this particular context was just missing Well then, follow SirDice's advice. Maybe it also helps to remove the package first.

Do I understand correctly - this is the operation I have to do before running

sudo pkg update

?

 

[SirDice]

Yes, it removes that directory. Apparently something didn't quite go according to plan and you have some file there when it should have been a directory. Just clean up those files, then run the upgrade. The install of the new version of grantleetheme will recreate those files anyway.

If you still get the error then there's probably something wrong with that specific port and we'll need to investigate further.

Thank you very much, it helped.

Please make it habit to check UPDATING files.

I thought it was related mainly to installations through ports.

Thanks for the advice. I just couldn't figure out how to do it.
