There was an issue found which is resolved in 1.3.7
pkg check -Ba is also needed to fix the db
from /usr/ports/UPDATING -
Please note announcement for special instructions at:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports-announce/2014-August/000086.html
- Users need to run 'pkg update -f' and 'pkg check -Ba' after
upgrading to
pkg-1.3.7 and before updating any other packages. This avoids needing to
reinstall anything not needed due to changed shlibs.
For binary package users:
# pkg install ports-mgmt/pkg
# pkg update -f
# pkg check -Ba
# pkg upgrade
For port users:
# make -C /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg build deinstall install clean
# pkg check -Ba
- People building packages for serving to other systems need to rebuild
all packages with 1.3.7.
