reinstallation of gconf2 over and over

[carlton_draught]

Hi,

I've searched the forum for an answer to this and nothing. Whenever I do a
# portmaster -a
I get the following:

===>>> gir-repository-gconf2-0.6.5_5

	===>>> The devel/gir-repository-gconf2 port moved to devel/gconf2
	===>>> Reason: merged into gconf2

===>>> Launching child to reinstall gir-repository-gconf2-0.6.5_5

	===>>> The devel/gir-repository-gconf2 port moved to devel/gconf2
	===>>> Reason: merged into gconf2


===>>> Port directory: /usr/ports/devel/gconf2

And at the end we get this:

===>>> Updating dependency entry for gconf2-2.32.0_2 in each dependent port

===>>> Re-installation of gconf2-2.32.0_2 succeeded

Unfortunately, this happens every single time that I run portmaster. The internet indicates that I need to portmaster -o, e.g. I would assume:

portmaster -o devel/gir-repository-gconf2 devel/gconf2

When I try that it complains that there is no directory for devel/gir-repository-gconf2. And nothing in /usr/ports/UPDATING. Any ideas?

AFAIR, I just pkg_deleted the gir- port that was the problem.

Thanks very much for that!

For those having the same or similar difficulties, here's what I did exactly:
# ls /var/db/pkg | grep gir
Saw that the name of the package was gir-repository-gconf2-0.6.5_5. And deleted the package:
# pkg_delete gir-repository-gconf2-0.6.5_5
Checked that it is fixed:
# portmaster -a
