Oddly, I regularly get the message "pkg: Package database is busy while closing!" after installing stuff.
Any idea what I could have done wrong?

- You've built ports-mgmt/pkg/ ( = pkg(8) ) from the head of the ports branche.
- After the previous step you've used

My work around was delete the packages I want out of the "explicit installed" list, and the dependencies I removed issuing:Here the issue disappeared after I had to reboot the system. No idea why.

pkg: Package database is busy while closing!

… I regularly get the message "pkg: Package database is busy while closing!"
after installing stuff. …
I had the message a few times, maybe ten, since my comment last week.
… database error, … move everything to Debian.
make
portion completes OK, then I get the same error as others in this thread. So I have to run make install
separately. Sometimes that does the trick, sometimes not. When make install
fails on me several times, I reboot. Then make install
succeeds. make deinstall
or pkg remove
are part of the issue - but to know for sure, one would need to look at source code, the repo, and related bug ticket situation. I could be incorrect, this is just an educated guess on my end.
