pkg_add: warning:

[montelion]

Is the possible to eliminate this warning:

pkg_add: warning: package 'p5-GraphViz-2.03_2' requires 'png-1.2.35', but 'png-1.2.42' is installed...

With any other updated package same problem?

This is a dependencies problem. Usually this appears when you mix ports and packages.

It can be fixed by running # portmaster --check-depends or # pkgdb -F after adding the package.

You'll need to install ports-mgmt/portmaster or ports-mgmt/portupgrade to use the programs mentioned above.

You really don't want to hide warnings. They are there for a reason.

This warning is just telling you that the binary package p5-GraphViz-2.03_2 was compiled on a system with png-1.2.35 installed. Thus, that specific version is included as a dependency.

However, your system has png-1.2.42 installed. This is a later version, so it passes the dependency check. However, since it is different from what the package was built with, pkg_add outputs that warning.

You can continue to use the package. You shouldn't run into any issues.
