I have some questions related to the portmaster(8) directions for updating all ports. When executing [cmd=]portmaster --check-port-dbdir[/cmd] (step 4) I am asked many questions about whether or not to delete various items:
Should I be choosing yes and deleting these?
Also, [cmd=]rm -rf /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg[/cmd] (step 7) returns
on a number of libraries such as libc.so.5. I'm assuming I should manually delete these. In fact, step 8 says to confirm that /usr/local and /var/db/pkg are really empty, but when I got to this step they weren't remotely empty and I'm wondering if I should manually remove everything. I answered no to all the requests to delete from the [cmd=]portmaster --check-port-dbdir[/cmd] command and maybe that's part of the reason these directories weren't empty.
Finally, step 9 says to reinstall portmaster. How should this be done?
Thanks for any help.
Code:
===>>> Building list of installed port names
===>>> Checking /var/db/ports
===>>> PackageKit does not seem to be installed
Delete /var/db/ports/PackageKit? y/n [n]
===>>> amanda does not seem to be installed
Delete /var/db/ports/amanda? y/n [n]
===>>> autoconf262 does not seem to be installed
Delete /var/db/ports/autoconf262? y/n [n]
===>>> automake110 does not seem to be installed
Delete /var/db/ports/automake110? y/n [n]
