>Description:
If I try to build a package with 20030202 package tools, it
asks me to install newer package tools:
===> Error: The package tools installed on this system are out of date.
===> The installed package tools are dated 2003/02/02 and you must update
===> them to at least 2003/09/18 using the following command:
===>
===> cd /NetBSD/pkgsrc/pkgtools/pkg_install && /usr/bin/make clean && /usr/bin/make install
===> Unable to satisfy dependency: >=none
When I do that I see:
walnut:pkgsrc/pkgtools/pkg_install 555> make
pkg_info: option requires an argument -- e
usage: pkg_info [-BbcDdFfIikLmnpqRrSsVvh] [-e package] [-l prefix]
pkg-name [pkg-name ...]
pkg_info -a [flags]
===> Unable to satisfy dependency: >=none
This error comes from mk/compiler/gcc.mk. Just as a guess, I tried:
walnut:pkgsrc/pkgtools/pkg_install 556> make _IGNORE_GCC=yes
make: don't know how to make pkg_admin. Stop
make: stopped in /NetBSD/pkgsrc/pkgtools/pkg_install
*** Error code 2
but this obviously didn't work...
>How-To-Repeat:
Use ~1 year old userland and try to install a new package?
>Fix:
None given.
