net/isc-dhcp31-server not in ports any more

[disi]

I ran

# portsnap fetch
# portsnap update
# portupgrade -ai

And get:

--->  Session started at: Sun, 16 Oct 2011 12:39:44 +0100
** Port directory not found: net/isc-dhcp31-server

Then I checked and there is only a 41 version in /usr/ports

disi-disk# ls net/isc*
net/isc-dhcp41-client:
Makefile    pkg-descr   pkg-message pkg-plist

net/isc-dhcp41-relay:
Makefile    pkg-descr   pkg-message pkg-plist

net/isc-dhcp41-server:
Makefile    distinfo    files       pkg-descr   pkg-message pkg-plist

net/isc-dhcp42-client:
Makefile    pkg-descr   pkg-message pkg-plist

net/isc-dhcp42-relay:
Makefile    pkg-descr   pkg-message pkg-plist

net/isc-dhcp42-server:
Makefile    distinfo    files       pkg-descr   pkg-message pkg-plist

net/iscsi-target:
Makefile    distinfo    files       pkg-descr   pkg-message pkg-plist
disi-disk# pkg_info | grep isc
isc-dhcp31-server-3.1.ESV_1,1 The ISC Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol server

So, this will never upgrade?

disi-disk# uname -a
FreeBSD disi-disk 8.2-STABLE FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE #3: Sat Oct 15 14:29:30 BST 2011     root@disi-disk:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/CUSTOM64  amd64

Apparently net/isc-dhcp31-server has known security vulnerabilities and no one stepped up to do anything about them within a set time and the port is now moved to Attic (the place where deleted files end up in the CVS version control system).

Your best option is to upgrade to net/isc-dhcp41-server or net/isc-dhcp42-server.

pkg_delete and reinstalled the 42 version, all back to normal

 

[initctl]

Hello there,

Having the same problem here, have googled a lot and could not find a solution. I know that I have to uninstall the 3.1 package. My question is: What did you exactly type to pkg_delete the net/isc-dhcp31-server port?

pkg_delete throws me

no such package

for every combination I try.

Greets,
initctl

 

[Abriel]

[CMD=]pkg_info | grep dhcp[/CMD]
You will get something like
[CMD=]isc-dhcp41-server-4.1.2_2,1 The ISC Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol server[/CMD] but version 3, then
[CMD=]pkg_delete isc-dhcp41-server-4.1.2_2,1[/CMD]

 

[initctl]

Thank you Abriel,

You've just saved my night. Now I know that pkg_delete needs the exact package name with version number to work and how to act when this happens to me again, thanks to you.

Now I could delete 3.1 and installed finally 4.2. portupgrade doesn't complain anymore.

Greets from Germany. Any many many thanks again.
