Hi all,
I am utterly exasperated with portmaster and looking for advice.
I am doing a system upgrade to 7.2. Kernel upgrade went fine and now upgrading the packages. The problem is that portmaster, in its infinite wisdom, aborts the update every time it encounters a port that has been deleted.
There seems to be no force or ignore switch on portmaster to tell it quit nattering and get on with job. The -x option only seems to work for a single package, and it seems that there are multiple deleted ports on my system. Pkg_delete reports multiple dependencies for the delete ports.
Any suggestions on how to get portmaster to cooperate? Is portupgrade any better?
Thanks!
