hi

I have freeBSD 7.0 installed and have the following problem:

# pkgdb -F

--->  Checking the package registry database
Stale origin: 'devel/linux-glib2': perhaps moved or obsoleted.
-> The port 'devel/linux-glib2' was removed on 2009-01-21 because:
        "Removed since the port is incorporated into all linux base ports"
-> Hint:  linux-glib2-2.6.6 is required by the following package(s):
        linux-gtk2-2.6.10

        linux-scim-libs-fc4-1.4.4_1
        linux-nvu-1.0

thx, according to /usr/ports/UPDATING:

20090121:
  AFFECTS: users of devel/linux-glib2, emulation/linux_base-f4
  AUTHOR: bsam@FreeBSD.org

  Glib2 now is incorporated to emulation/linux_base-fc4 (it has always
  been a part of more recent linux base ports). All users should deinstall
  devel/linux-glib2 and then deinstall/reinstall emulation/linux_base-f4.

but I cannot delete linux-glib2:

# locate linux-glib2-2.6.6
/usr/ports/packages/All/linux-glib2-2.6.6.tbz

# pkg_delete -r /var/db/pkg/linux-glib2-2.6.6
pkg_delete: no such package 'linux-glib2-2.6.6' installed

howto delete or deinstall linux-glib2 ?

Use pkg_delete -xi linux-glib

-x tells pkg_delete to do wildcard matching on the name, and the -i tells it to ask for permission to delete any matching packages that it finds.

still cannot delete:

# locate linux-glib2-2.6.6

Try it without the 2.

You can locate the Linux glib package with:
% pkg_info | grep glib

You will also need to use -f for pkg_delete, since some packages depend on linux-glib:
# pkg_delete -f linux-glib2-2.6.6

Then install the new linux_base (Which includes glib).

thx, pkg_delete -f linux-glib2-2.6.6 has deleted this package.
