Solved Unable to upgrade/install ZSH from ports

[manas]

Hello,

I ran into a problem while trying to upgrade shells/zsh on my FreeBSD 10.2-RELEASE machine. This is the error that I see:

pkg-static: Unable to access file /usr/ports/shells/zsh/work/stage/usr/local/lib/zsh/5.2/zsh/curses.so: No such file or directory

How can this issue be fixed?

Thanks,
Manas

Hi.

If you are using portmaster(8) or similar as opposed to pkg(8) for updating, did you follow the instructions in /usr/ports/UPDATING?

20151205:
AFFECTS: users of devel/ncurses
AUTHOR: bapt@FreeBSD.org

ncurses has been updated to 6.0.
If you are using binary pkg, 'pkg upgrade' will do the right thing.
Users of portmaster/portupgrade must rebuild all ports which depend
on ncurses.

Portmaster users:
portmaster -w -r ncurses
Portupgrade users:
portupgrade -fr devel/ncurses

Missed that. Thanks for reminding me.
