Hello,
I'm asking about the goal of the new option -L of pkgdb :
-L --fix-lost Check and restore lost dependencies against the ports tree.
What is a lost dependency ?
# pkgdb -L
Look for lost dependencies:
ImageMagick-6.3.2.0: found
print/ghostscript-afpl
-> Fixed.
ORBit2-2.14.6: ok
[...]
But i use ghostscript-gnu-7.07_15
So :
# pkgdb -F
---> Checking the package registry database
Stale dependency: ImageMagick-6.3.2.0 -> ghostscript-afpl-8.54,1
(print/ghostscript-afpl):
ghostscript-gnu-7.07_15 (score:70%) ? ([y]es/[n]o/[a]ll) [a]
And then i've got the same lost dependency again.
I do not understand the goal and the utility of this option -L, a sample ?
Thanks, regards.
