Solved Orphaned: databases/mysql51-server

[Mayhem30]

I'm not able to upgrade my MySQL to a later version at this time. The version of forum software I am currently using does not support it (haven't had time to upgrade it yet).

With that said, how do I safely get rid of these entries - without removing MySQL 5.1 from the system?

$ pkg version -vL=
mysql51-client-5.1.73_3  ?  orphaned: databases/mysql51-client
mysql51-server-5.1.73_3  ?  orphaned: databases/mysql51-server

MySQL 5.1 is End-of-Life and not supported any more. It is therefor removed from the ports tree. The only way to get rid of these is to upgrade to MySQL 5.5 or 5.6.

How would I go about doing that? My "go to" method isn't working.

$ sudo portmaster -a
===>>> Gathering distinfo list for installed ports

===>>> Starting check of installed ports for available updates

===>>> The databases/mysql51-client port has been deleted: Has expired: EOL upstream, use mysql55 or mysql56 instead
===>>> Aborting update

Please, read frequently the entries in /usr/ports/UPDATING

% less -p20150204 /usr/ports/UPDATING

I just would like to clarify something, this instructions above says to do this :

  # pkg set -o databases/mysql55-client:databases/mysql56-client
  # pkg set -o databases/mysql55-server:databases/mysql56-server
  # pkg upgrade

Is it possible to skip the 3rd step (pkg upgrade) and perform a portmaster -a instead so I can set my own config options?

Yes, that shouldn't be a problem. Just keep an eye on /usr/ports/UPDATING for any specific order for any of the other ports/packages you may need to update.

Will do, I update everything when it's available (not sure that's necessarily the right thing to do ...), so it will be just the client/server for MySQL left when I fire off that command.

Thanks for the quick reply!
