Hi all,
I'm running 8.3-RELEASE and thought I'd update Perl from 5.12 to 5.16.
Silly me. I updated my ports snapshot, and as per UPDATING, ran
portmaster -o lang/perl5.16 lang/perl5.12
This went OK, so I then ran perl-after-upgrade, with and without -f. It scans
the packages and finds everything it should, but insists nothing needs to be
done, saying " 0 moved, 0 modified, 0 adjusted" for every one of them. At the
end it says "Fixed 0 packages (0 files moved, 0 files modified)".
Well of course this isn't right; all my modules are still sitting in the
5.12.4 directory and are not getting moved over to the 5.16.2 one. This
naturally breaks everything depending on those modules.
What's going wrong? Sorry if this is a novice question.
Please let me know what I need to check. Thanks,
Mike
Don't know the answer to your exact question.
Have you done "portmaster 5-"?
If not, do it. After this is done,
how much have you got left under 5.12.4?
