pkg_add -vvvvviUu
pkg_delete -a
pkg_check -vvvvv
sysmerge
First a firmware update, -vvvvv is for output, which I like to read, -i is interactive mode (asks questions if there is something difficult), -a is for deleting unused dependencies and pkg_check I like to use for checking the consistency of all the installed packages (and indeed I had some dependency issues pointed out by pkg_check, a gtk package wanted to have the whole mate desktop, but it's ok now). |
I also saw fw_update run during sysupgrade, so you shouldn’t need to run it.
I’ll have to take a closer look at these pkg_add/delete/check steps the next time I get ready for a sysupgrade.
I did see a bunch of output running pkg_add -u, at first thinking that there might have been some errors. It turns out not, but one thing I learned is that pkg_add might leave a bunch of messages to delete a bunch of files which don’t exist. You should look at each one, to make sure.
