Hello!

I have NetBSD 3.1 and I uses pkgsrc-2006Q4.
I would like to have opera, acroread7 and vmware3.

Let look at dependences

OPERA:
...
suse_base-10.0nb3
suse_x11-10.0nb2
...

ACROREAD4,5,7:

...
suse_base-10.0nb3
suse_x11-10.0nb2
...

VMWARE2,3:

...
suse_base-9.1nb12
suse_x11-9.1nb6
...

In this case if I try to build vmware (any version) I get

ERROR: suse_base-10.0nb3 is already installed - perhaps an older version?
ERROR: If so, you may use either of:
ERROR:     - "pkg_delete suse_base-10.0nb3" and "/usr/bin/make reinstall"
ERROR:       to upgrade properly
ERROR:     - "/usr/bin/make update" to rebuild the package and all
ERROR:       of its dependencies
ERROR:     - "/usr/bin/make replace" to replace only the package without
ERROR:       re-linking dependencies, risking various problems.

Can you please help me to find out how to build and install vmware?

/BR, Alexander
