Port installation failing

trybeingarun

Hi,
My openoffice installation is failing
Code: 
$ sudo portversion -vL=
openoffice.org-3.1.1        <  needs updating (port has 3.2.0)
wine-1.1.38,1               <  needs updating (port has 1.1.39,1)


When I give `portmaster -a`...
Code: 
Multiprocessing build is finished
Maximal number of processes run: 2
rmdir /tmp/qY5WzJNKbg

      You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again                                      
      by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly.                                                       
      If you really wish to overwrite the old port of editors/openoffice.org-3                            
      without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER"                                    
      in your environment or the "make install" command line.                                             
*** Error code 1                                                                                          

Stop in /usr/ports/editors/openoffice.org-3.

===>>> Update for openoffice.org-3.1.1 failed

And when I try to delete openoffice.org-3.1.1
Code: 
$ sudo pkg_delete openoffice.org-3.1.1
pkg_delete: package 'openoffice.org-3.1.1' doesn't have a prefix

My office softwares belong to 3.2 version only. How can i remove openoffice.org-3.1.1? All the openoffice make files show only 3.2 version
 
Solved it myself

Hi,
I ran a pkgdb and it fixed the issue
Code: 
$ sudo pkgdb -F
--->  Checking the package registry database
Duplicated origin: editors/openoffice.org-3 - openoffice.org-3.1.1 openoffice.org-3.2.0
Unregister any of them? [no] yes
  Unregister openoffice.org-3.1.1 keeping the installed files intact? [no] yes
  -> openoffice.org-3.2.0 is kept.
  --> Saving the openoffice.org-3.1.1's +CONTENTS file as /var/db/pkg/openoffice.org-3.2.0/+CONTENTS.openoffice.org-3.1.1
  --> Unregistering openoffice.org-3.1.1
  --> Done.
[Updating the pkgdb <format:bdb_btree> in /var/db/pkg ... - 761 packages found (-1 +0) (...) done]
$ sudo portversion -vL=
wine-1.1.38,1               <  needs updating (port has 1.1.39,1)
 
Do not use portupgrade and portmaster at the same time! They're not compatible and will lead to the type of error you saw.
 
Then deinstall portupgrade so tools like pkgdb disappear with it. They will only confuse you and your ports.
