I'm running FreeBSD 5.4 and recently cvsup'd my system and followed that with
portupgrade. I subsequently ran pkgdb -Fu and was asked if gamin-0.1.5_2 was
a stale dependency for gnomevfs2-2.12.2_1 and inadvertently responded yes. I
attempted to reinstall gamin-0.1.5_2 and received a message stating that it
was in conflict with fam-2.6.9_6 which I found was required by
firefox-1.5_5,1. The message also indicated that I should delete fam-2.6.9_6
and then I could complete installation of gamin-0.1.5_2 so I did. I ran
pkgdb -Fu again and replaced fam-2.6.9_6 with gamin-0.1.5_2 as a dependency
of firefox. I expected to see a similar prompt requesting me to make
gamin-0.1.5_2 a dependency of gnomevfs2-2.12.2_1 but did not.
Both, gamin-0.1.5_2 and fam-2.6.9_6 seem to fulfill the same function of
monitoring file alterations (?). I don't fully understand the purpose but my
question is how do I return gamin-0.1.5_2 as a dependent of
gnomevfs2-2.12.2_1 and was I correct in making it a dependent of firefox?
Thnx in advance,
