I'm using portmaster to manage my ports without external databases. However, when I run the try to run pkg_version -l '<', I'm getting the following error:
pkg_version: corrupted record (pkgdep line without argument), ignoring
How do I fix this problem?
You can fix this problem running the following commands:
portmaster --check-depends
After that run usual portmaster -Da command:
# portmaster -Da
However, as noted here, it is good idea to get list of ports first:
cd /var/db/ cp -Rp pkg pkg-before portmaster --check-depends diff -ur pkg-before pkg > ~/pkg-dir.diff1 cp -Rp pkg pkg-after portmaster --check-depends diff -ur pkg-after pkg > ~/pkg-dir.diff2 cd pkg egrep -l '(pkgdep$|pkgdep $)' */+CONTENTS > ~/pkg-dir.egrep
See portmaster man page for more information.
