Package Dependencies.
-
I apologize if this is the wrong forum but it seemed the logical one.
Is it possible to modify package dependencies prior to 'installing'.
A recent update to Version 2 BETA5 (3rd Feb 2011) resulted in a bunch of CSRF errors, the GUI was frozen with updating packages where it stayed forever …
After rebooting the firewall it attempted to install packages and froze on Snort at the uninstalling components point. When trying to open the package page a CSRF error was encountered, this error existed on many other pages, clearing the cache helped but didn't fix. Every subsequent restart followed the same cycle, SSH access showed that Snort had gone, but the system still was trying to uninstall it.
I was forced into a full install of V2 BETA 5 because I needed to get connectivity back, this fixed all the CSRF errors.
Now I can no longer install Snort and get this error :-

I checked the /pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8.1-release/All/ folder and the expected version of MySQL client is indeed missing.
Anyone have any ideas how to resolve this?
Thanks in advance
PS : I have installed Snort but needed to use pkg_add to do the SQL manually - I am trying to identify how to manipulate package dependencies

I have the same issue.
Is there a work around available, or is there a way to contact the maintainer of the package ?
I did manually download mysql51-client.tbz but the snort package needs really modification.
