Re: A more efficiet way to update packages.

[Siju George <sgeorge.ml%gmail.com@localhost>]

Hi,

pkgin gives me 2 issues.

1)  pkg_add: A different version of tcl-8.3.4nb2 is already installed:
tcl-8.4.18
     pkg_add: 1 package addition failed.

Why would it try to install a package with a version no. that is less
than the one already installed?

2) So many packages are marked as " non auto-removeable".

Why is that? Waht is the way to upgrade these packages?

Thanks

Siju
