Default Help! My system "lost" my bind94 package...

Let me preference this by saying I am first and foremost a linux user. So much of my experience with freebsd thusfar can be summerized by saying it's been "difficult" for me. So I installed the latest STABLE branch of FreeBSD (7.0) on this box with the intention of setting up a DNS server. After the install I decided to fetch the ports collection so I could install additional software. I assumed that this collection would be up to date, it turns out it wasn't.

I started by installing some of my personal "essential" utilities (vim, bash, screen, etc.). I finished off by navigating into /usr/ports/dns/bind9 and building the latest version of bind, which ended up being 9.4.x. I built this port using the basic

$ make && make install

command. It built fine, however i wanted the newest version of bind (as well as my other ports that I had installed). So I did the following

$ portsnap update && portsnap extract

I then built the portupgrade port and performed a portupgrade -a to update all of my installed ports. For some strange reason it decided to install bind-9.3 along side bind-9.4.... At this point my bind9.4 package I had originally install had disappeared from the output of pkg_info. However it was still the main version of named installed (as returned by the which) command.

First I used the pkg_deinstall command to remove bind-9.3 this seemed to work perfectly. However it looked like the bind-9.4 package was totally lost. So I tried to go into /usr/ports/dns/bind95 to build the newest version and just install that over whatever old files happened to be present from 9.4. (in between these steps I tried to use pkg_which and pkgdb -F in order to get the package showing up again, no dice, output from pkg_which on the binary yields only ?).

So I used the command $ portinstall bind95 and it started building bind95. I got an ncurses looking screen with some options. I tried selecting the option to "replace bind" thinking maybe this would replace my version of bind with 9.5. Not dice. Shortly after making the confirmation I got an exit code...

hmmm ok.....

So I tried going into bind9's directory and doing a make deinstall no dice. Out of what I'm sure was pure frustration I navigated back into the bind95 directory and did a make clean && make && make install with that port. Below is the output at the end of the install (unfortunately being a n00b I didn't capture the output so I only have the end).

*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/dns/bind95.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/dns/bind95.
Now while this did error out and give me a stop code it did appear to over write my previous installation of bind.

$ named -v
BIND 9.5.0-P2


So now I have the newest version of bind up and running (I checked and it's answering queries and serving zones as it should). But it's still not showing up in pkg_info. How can I get this package to be targetable by the pkg system again? named is really the only application I need the package system to actually manage (as it's the reason for this machines existence). Any help is most appreciated. I will gladly provide any other information that might be needed. Thanks in advance for any help.

Move /etc/named out of the way, then try installing bind again.

In addition, I would not use portupgrade and related tools, in my experience it only makes things more difficult rather than easier by adding a ``magic'' abstraction layer over a relatively simple system, while this does provide some benefits, IMO the disadvantages greatly outweigh the benefits.

$ make && make install
This is the same as just using make install, no need to run make twice.

Quote:
$ portsnap update && portsnap extract
This is the same as:
# portsnap update extract

Thanks for the help, I'm going to give that a try today. I'll take your word for it and try and avoid using pkgtools in order to manage ports. After it randomly decided downgrading Bind was a good idea I started questioning how good of an idea using that tool is.

Once again thanks for the help

EDIT: So I moved that folder out of the way and did a make install on bind95 again and low and behold

bind95-base-9.5.0.2

YAY!!! Thanks for the help! I'll be taking your advice and staying away from portupgrade in the future
