Hi all, I just observed the following: perl-5.10.0nb6 is installed and lots of packages depending on it like p5-DBI-1.609 % pkg_info p5-DBI-1.609 Information for p5-DBI-1.609: Comment: The database-independent Perl database access API Requires: perl<5.12.0 perl>=5.10.0 I have /usr/pkgsrc/packages/All/perl-5.12.1.tgz and for every dependency on perl-5.10.0nb6 I have the corresponding package in /usr/pkgsrc/packages/All. Of course, I can neither upgrade using pkg_add -u perl, nor using e.g. pkg_add -u -u p5-DBI because, as the man page describes "Before doing so, all packages that depend on the pkg being upgraded are checked if they also work with the new version." I think what is needed here is a way to specify a package set to update as one transaction. pkg_add would need to check that after update of all the packages in the set, versions are allowed. Best regards, Marko
