Multiple versions of software on the same system. [solved]
-
I've upgraded from the i386 latest stable build to the nightly i386 snapshots.
2.1-BETA0 (i386)
built on Sun Dec 9 04:41:14 EST 2012
FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE-p5I am trying to diagnose some bandwidthd png issues. when running pkg_info I see multiple instances of software on my server. This makes me wonder if going from a stable build to a snapshot build screwed something up and thats why bandwidthd is not graphing properly anymore.
Is it normal to have multiple packages on a server and if not what should I do to fix it.

The easiest answer, backup configuration, reinstall build from scratch, restore config.
Result no more multiple versions on system.
what a pain :-\
-
You had a number of packages there that aren't installed by any packages in the package system. In that case, you have to also maintain those manually. Probably best off reinstalling from scratch as many things as you had pkg_added manually. It's possible to clean up manually too, but faster to reinstall and config restore as much of a mess as you had there.
-
Also on 2.1, pkg_add won't show much that should be there. Since the packages are installed from PBIs, you'd want to check "pbi_info" also.
