Question question about updating/upgrading a port

Hello everyone,

I'm still relatively new to freebsd and I can't find the answer to one question : when I installed some ports (make install clean in the right directories) there was one that required fping as a dependency, so fping was also compiled and installed.

Before installing these ports (and fping) I read the UPDATING file where I found an info about fping ; I did exactly what was told there and everything looked good.

(Little) problem : now when I run pkg_version -v, it says :

Code:
fping+ipv6-2.4b2                    !   Comparison failed
fping-3.4                           =   up-to-date with port
If I run portmaster -a, it says it needs to reinstall fping, so I let it do that, at the end portmaster says everything was done successfully but if I run pkg_version -v again, it gives the same result.

I tried to change the config options (cd /usr/ports/net/fping && make config), added the ipv6 options, reinstalled, then removed the ipv6 option, reinstalled : no effect.

The problem doesn't look very bad to me, but still, I'm quite curious about what's wrong there with fping.

I don't know anymore where to look for, maybe the answer is simple and my research is wrong ? Thanks for any hint !

Have a nice day folks

Can you post the output of this command:
% pkg_info -arR

This will show all dependencies for all your installed ports.

Thanks for your reply ! Hum, I guess the only interesting part is the one about fping (nevertheless I've put the complete output at the end of this post) :

Code:
Information for fping+ipv6-2.4b2:

Depends on:

Information for fping-3.4:

Depends on:
This shows that very strangely, fping doesn't seem to be required at all. I don't understand then where it comes from : I don't know this package and am absolutely sure I did not install it myself.

So, could just removing fping be the solution of the problem ? This shouldn't break anything, according to pkg_info. But if it was put there during the install process, then it could be a bad idea though ?

I've noticed that ping is on the system but not in the port (does it mean ping belongs to the "base system" ?).

If this could be useful, here is also the output of portmaster -l :

It also shows that fping (nor fping-ipv6) has nothing to do with any other port.

Default upgrade to pkgng

I did the upgrade, following the indications of UPDATING :

Code:
  # make -C /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg install clean
  # make -C /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portmaster config build deinstall install clean
  # echo 'WITH_PKGNG=yes' >> /etc/make.conf
  # pkg2ng
The only problem was at the end (pkg2ng output) :
Code:
!!! Some packages failed to register !!!
Failed packages:  fping-3.4
There was a more detailed message above about fping but the console I use has a little bug and I can't get this message back unfortunately...

Not using pkg2ng yet.... fixes (such as your very first post) I think are harder to figure out with the use of the new pkg manager than v9's default (Unless someone puts up a flowchart with problems > solutions. OTOH I've not read all the man pages recently.)
Does the port actually work? In the meantime that is probably what matters...

I had problem with perl. I reinstalled with portmaster and was okay. I don't have any problem with new pkgng...

I have no idea if fping works. I don't think I really need it. The install was done on a server by the provider so some things & settings and a little bit different from the "raw" install. I also have a "raw" freebsd on a local computer and I notice there is no fping installed on it. So I don't know what the fping on the server is for...

But it was a bad idea to switch directly to pkgng... Now the usual commands seem to work differently, for instance pkg_version -v give only one line :
Code:
fping-3.4                           =   up-to-date with port
pkg_info -arR only this one :
Code:
Information for fping-3.4:

Depends on:
EDIT: OK, all the pkg_* are replaced by pkg, see http://wiki.freebsd.org/pkgng

and portmaster -a wants me to install fping :
Code:
===>>> The following actions will be taken if you choose to proceed:
        Install net/fping

===>>> Proceed? y/n [y]
If I say yes, it fails :
Code:
Installing fping-3.4...pkg: fping-3.4 conflicts with fping+ipv6-2.4b2 (installs files into the same place).  Problematic file: /usr/local/man/man8/fping.8.gz
*** Error code 70

Stop in /usr/ports/net/fping.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/net/fping.

===>>> Installation of fping-3.4 (net/fping) failed
===>>> Aborting update

===>>> Update for net/fping failed
===>>> Aborting update

Terminated

===>>> You can restart from the point of failure with this command line:
       portmaster <flags> net/fping
If I delete it :
Code:
# pkg_delete fping-3.4
pkg_delete: no such package 'fping' installed
then portmaster still wants me to install it
Code:
===>>> The following actions will be taken if you choose to proceed:
        Install net/fping

===>>> Proceed? y/n [y]
How to get out of it ?

Default kind of resolved

I finally deleted the fping package (the ipv6 one).

pkg_delete from the previous post didn't work because it is replaced by pkg delete :
Code:
# pkg delete fping+ipv6-2.4b2
The following packages will be deinstalled:

        fping+ipv6-2.4b2

The deinstallation will free 33 kB

Proceed with deinstalling packages [y/N]: y
Deleting fping+ipv6-2.4b2...pkg: fopen(/usr/local/man/man8/fping.8.gz): No such file or directory
 done
# portmaster -a
===>>> Gathering distinfo list for installed ports

===>>> Starting check of installed ports for available updates

===>>> All ports are up to date
