pkg-config

Hi all,

Hope somebody can help me out here. On the last upgrade I did not pay attention to /usr/ports/UPDATING:

Code: 
devel/pkg-config has been replaced by devel/pkgconf
# portmaster -o devel/pkgconf devel/pkg-config

I've currently the pkgconf installed and when I try to do an upgrade on older ports I am receiving following message:

Code: 
cannot install: Unknown component pkgconfig

Is there any chance to fix this?

Thanks.
 
Just delete them both. They're not really needed to run anything, they're build dependencies. The proper one will get installed if something needs it.
 
Not a good advice so far:

Code: 
# portmaster firefox

===>>> No valid installed port, or port directory given
===>>> Try portmaster --help

===>>> Killing background jobs
Terminated
 
Your second issue is actually unrelated. It seems as if it's a syntax error. The command should be
portmaster www/firefox
 
It can only be portmaster firefox when firefox is already installed. Otherwise, see previous post.

Hi,

I've got the same problem. I did so, but am still not able to build some ports.

Code: 
root@FreeBSD[/usr/ports/x11/pixman]# make configure
===>  pixman-0.30.2 cannot install: Unknown component pkgconfig.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/x11/pixman.
root@FreeBSD[/usr/ports/x11/pixman]#
