libxul

hi

I cannot install www/libxul from ports on freeBSD 7.3 (Upgrade from 7.2).
According to /usr/ports/UPDATING:
Code:
20090917:
  AFFECTS: users of www/epiphany, x11/yelp, graphics/librsvg2,
	   x11/toolkits/py-gnome-extras, and www/epiphany-extensions
  AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org

  The default Gecko provider has been changed from www/firefox to
  www/libxul.  Firefox 2.x is now marked FORBIDDEN for security reasons,
  and libxul is new, stable, and preferred Gecko provider.  Libxul uses
  the same Gecko engine as Firefox 3.0.x.

  Some ports may fail to upgrade or run when both www/firefox and libxul
  are installed on the same system.  To make sure everything runs smoothly,
  uninstall www/firefox, then install libxul, then upgrade the affected
  ports.

I have unistalled www/firefox, but still doesn't help:
Code:
# cd /usr/ports/www/firefox
# make deinstall clean
# cd /usr/ports/www/libxul
# make deinstall && make reinstall clean

SyntaxError: invalid syntax
gmake[3]: *** [export] Error 1
gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/www/libxul/work/mozilla/config'

gmake[1]: *** [tier_base] Error 2

Unless you haven't updated your ports for a very, very long time the firefox->libxul dependency isn't something you need to worry about.


NB. Only use [cmd=]make deinstall[/cmd] if you want to deinstall the exact same version as the port. Use pkg_delete(1) for everything else.
 
Thx, but my problem is, I cannot install www/mplayer-plugin, because is depending on
www/libxul, so I really need it.
 
How up to date is your ports tree? And how up to date are your installed ports?

It's up to date, I've done before
Code:
# portsnap fetch update
# portupgrade -a
Code:
# /usr/sbin/pkg_version -IvL '='
#
 
This is a strange problem,
I've done perl upgrade to 5.10.1, but still doesn't work.
 
ondra_knezour said:
From time to time, portupgrade think, that everything is up to date but ports-mgmt/portmaster seens newer versions.
% portmaster -vL | grep New

my freeBSD 7.3 system seems to be really up to date:
Code:
# portsnap fetch update
# portmaster -vL | grep New
#
 
You could paste real error, not just ambiguous "Syntax Error: invalid syntax".

Have you followed instructions in /usr/ports/UPDATING re: perl update?

Yep, I've done perl update according to /usr/ports/UPDATING

  lang/perl5.10 is out. If you want to switch to it from, for example
  lang/perl5.8, that is:

  Portupgrade users:
    0) Fix pkgdb.db (for safety):
	pkgdb -Ff

    1) Reinstall perl with new 5.10:
	env DISABLE_CONFLICTS=1 portupgrade -o lang/perl5.10 -f perl-5.8.\*

    2) Reinstall everything that depends on Perl:
	portupgrade -fr perl

It's not a perl error, it's a python error.

What version of python do you have installed?
 
  • Thanks
Reactions: ccc
I have:
Code:
# pkg_info | grep python
python26-2.6.4      An interpreted object-oriented programming language
python31-3.1.1_1    An interpreted object-oriented programming language
Howto upgrade them?
Should I first deinstall python26-2.6.4?
 
I've done according to /usr/ports/UPDATING:
Code:
20090608:
  AFFECTS: users of lang/python* and py-*
  AUTHOR: miwi@FreeBSD.org

  The default version of Python has been changed from 2.5.x to 2.6.x.
  If you have 2.5.x installed, perform an upgrade of lang/python25 to
  lang/python26 with one of the following commands:

  If using portupgrade:
  # portupgrade -o lang/python26 lang/python25

  If using portmaster:
  # portmaster -o lang/python26 lang/python25

  If you want to retain 2.5.x as default Python version, set the
  PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION variable to 'python2.5' (without quotes) in
  /etc/make.conf, then go to lang/python and perform the following
  command:

  # portupgrade -R python

  Once the installed Python has been updated to 2.6, by using the
  method above, it is required to run the upgrade-site-packages target in
  lang/python to assure that site-packages are made available to the new
  Python version.

  If using portupgrade:
  # cd /usr/ports/lang/python && make upgrade-site-packages

  If using portmaster:
  # cd /usr/ports/lang/python && make upgrade-site-packages -DUSE_PORTMASTER

  The portmaster case can take quite some time to complete due to the lack of
  cached information that the portupgrade suite uses (specifically pkg_which).
  This is not the fault of portmaster.
and didn't help.

Then I've tried the following:
Code:
# cd /usr/local/lang/python26 
# make deinstall
# pkg_info | grep python
python31-3.1.1_1    An interpreted object-oriented programming language
# portupgrade -fr lang/python31  
# portupgrade -R python
# cd /usr/ports/lang/python && make upgrade-site-packages
but this problem still exists.
 
I would deinstall python31 as that's the odd one out. Python26 is the default one.

I'll try to deinstall perl5.10 and go back to perl5.8.

BTW is it perl5.8 the default one on freeBSD 7.3?

Perl got removed from the base OS somewhere around 4.x, so there is no default one.

Most ports expect perl 5.8.x though.

Did you noticed following entry in /usr/ports/UPDATING?
2009-09-11

Affects: users of lang/perl5.10

Author: skv@FreeBSD.org

Reason:
lang/perl5.10 has been updated to 5.10.1. You should update everything that depends on perl. The easiest way to do that is to use "perl-after-upgrade" script supplied with lang/perl5.10. Please see its manual page for details.

If you want to switch to lang/perl5.10 from lang/perl5.8 please follow instructions in the entry 20090328 in this file.

We know it, but does ccc's Perl 5.10.1 knows it too? :)

I've done perl upgrade to 5.10.1, but still doesn't work.

I think his system may be in little inconsistent state. Something he was adviced in [thread=13883]this thread[/thread] may show more.

Yep, like in my posting before, I've done Perl Update according to 20090328 in /usr/ports/UPDATING.
Have you really follow and read my postings?

Which doesn't says nothing about script mentioned, which is stated in entry I mentioned. Additionally, this entry is related to upgrade path from 5.8 to 5.10, mine to minor update to 5.10.1, which seems to by your actual version.

Yes, I read yours postings :) Now is yours turn, notice difference between dates 2009-09-11 and 20090328 :) No offence :)

I've done "perl-after-upgrade" and I've updated everything that depends on perl, even I follow and I've done the steps from 20090328.
What's do you think is wrong?
 
You didn't mention it and it isn't stated in UPDATING notice you wrote about. So I just reminded it for case you was not aware of. In case you ran perl-after-upgrade script, there will be problem probably somewhere elsewhere.

Did you consider rebuild port and all ports given port depends on? Portupgrade and portmaster tools booth have such option, if I remember right.

If I understand situation right, you now have 5.10 perl in system, but during build is called perl 5.8.9. What about old configure script from some previous build? Do you clean your ports working directory before make them?

What about # make clean && make in /usr/ports/www/libxul?
 
Thx, but it's a little to late, I've already done the downgrade from perl5.8 to perl5.8.
Now libxul installation was successfully.

BTW I'll try to upgrade again from perl5.8 to perl5.10.
