Some turbulence encountered during perl-5.14.4_2 -> perl5-5.16.3_2

[David Wolfskill]

This was on my laptop:

FreeBSD g1-227.catwhisker.org 9.2-STABLE FreeBSD 9.2-STABLE #582  r257042M/257046:902504: Thu Oct 24 04:57:46 PDT 2013     root at g1-227.catwhisker.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/CANARY  i386

using pkg_* (still).

The /usr/ports working copy was at r331473; my "upgrade tool of choice"
for ports is (and for some time has been) portmaster.

Before attempting the Perl migration, I had performed my usual (daily)

	portmaster -ad --index

which, in turn, accomplished:

===>>> The following actions were performed:
        Upgrade of curl-7.32.0 to curl-7.33.0
        Upgrade of xmlto-0.0.25 to xmlto-0.0.25_1

Then, following the suggestion in ports/UPDATING, I did:

portmaster -o lang/perl5.16 lang/perl5.14

which completed without incident:

...
===>>> Installation of lang/perl5.16 (perl5-5.16.3_2) complete

:-)

I then attempted the "Comprehensive" approach:

root at d129:/common/home/david # portmaster -r perl-

===>>> /var/db/pkg/perl- does not exist
===>>> Aborting update

===>>> Killing background jobs


Bah.  OK; fine:

root at d129:/common/home/david # portmaster -r perl

===>>> Working on:
        perl5-5.16.3_2
...
===>>> Returning to list of ports depending on perl5-5.16.3_2 
===>>> The update for gtkglarea-2.0.1_3 is already done

===>>> The update for gtkglext-1.2.0_12 is already done

===>>> Launching child to reinstall gnome-libs-1.4.2_20

===>>> Checking dependent ports >> gnome-libs-1.4.2_20 (172/172)
0;portmaster: Checking dependent ports >> gnome-libs-1.4.2_20 (172/172)^G
===>>> Currently installed version: gnome-libs-1.4.2_20
===>>> Port directory: /usr/ports/x11/gnome-libs

        ===>>> This port is marked DEPRECATED
        ===>>> EOLed upstream for very long

        ===>>> If you are sure you can build it, remove the
               DEPRECATED line in the Makefile and try again.

===>>> Update for gnome-libs-1.4.2_20 failed
===>>> Aborting update

===>>> Killing background jobs
...
===>>> Exiting

Hmm...  OK...  Maybe I don't really need it...?

root at d129:/common/home/david # pkg_delete gnome-libs-1.4.2_20
pkg_delete: package 'gnome-libs-1.4.2_20' is required by these other packages
and may not be deinstalled:
graphviz-2.34.0
ImageMagick-6.8.0.7_1
dvdauthor-0.7.1
gegl-0.2.0_3
gimp-app-2.8.6_1,1
py27-gimp-app-2.8.6_1
gimp-2.8.6,2
xlockmore-5.42
transcode-1.1.7_9
inkscape-0.48.4_2

Ugh.  So I have rather little confidence that I can rebuild those
successfully, given that gnome-libs-1.4.2_20 was deprecated out
from under them.  So, back to "Conservative":


root at d129:/common/home/david # portmaster p5-

===>>> Working on:
        p5-XML-Parser-2.41_1
        p5-Email-Address-1.90.0

        p5-SOAP-Lite-0.716

        p5-MIME-Tools-5.504,2
        p5-Net-IP-1.26
        p5-BSD-devstat-0.02_1

===>>> Gathering distinfo list for installed ports

===>>> Re-installation of p5-BSD-devstat-0.02_1 succeeded

        Re-installation of p5-XML-LibXML-2.0106,1
        Re-installation of p5-BSD-devstat-0.02_1

===>>> Exiting
root at d129:/common/home/david # echo $?
0


I then did a reality check:

d129(9.2-S)[1] cd /usr/local/lib/perl5/
d129(9.2-S)[2] ls -F
5.14/           5.14.2/         5.16/           site_perl/
d129(9.2-S)[3] find 5.14* -type f
5.14/perl/man/whatis
5.14/man/man3/Image::Magick.3.gz
5.14/man/man3/RRDp.3.gz
5.14/man/man3/RRDs.3.gz
5.14/man/whatis
5.14.2/perl/man/whatis
5.14.2/man/whatis

I found the ports that had those bits (man3/Image::Magick.3.gz &
the RRD* stuff) -- they were graphics/ImageMagick & databases/rrdtool
-- and told portmaster to rebuild them:

root at d129:/common/home/david # portmaster graphics/ImageMagick databases/rrdtool

===>>> Working on:
        graphics/ImageMagick
        databases/rrdtool
...
===>>> Re-installation of rrdtool-1.4.7_2 succeeded

===>>> The following actions were performed:
        Re-installation of ImageMagick-6.8.0.7_1
        Re-installation of rrdtool-1.4.7_2

===>>> Exiting

So far, so good....  Re-reality-checked:

d129(9.2-S)[4] find 5.14* -type f
5.14/perl/man/whatis
5.14/man/whatis
5.14.2/perl/man/whatis
5.14.2/man/whatis


(which looks OK to me), then blew away the 5.14 bits:

root at d129:/common/home/david # rm -fr /usr/local/lib/perl5/5^G.14*


FWIW, I was able to do the "Comprehensive" approach on my build
machine.  Of course, it's headless, and has but 31 ports installed
-- mostly:

devel/rcs57
devel/subversion
misc/compat9x
net/rsync
ports-mgmt/portmaster
security/sudo
sysutils/dmidecode
sysutils/tmux

and their dependencies.  (The laptop's list is a bit larger.)
