    Hi Joshua,

    Yes, you are right.

    About several days ago I tried to upgrade
    'automake-1.4.5_9' to its latest version using
    following commands which I knew being incorrect later;

    # cd /usr/ports/automake-1.4.5_9
    # make deinstall

    After starting I saw it removed files which I needed.
    I closed the Konsole window promptly to stop running
    it.

    Today I tried to force remove 'automake-1.4.5_9' with
    following command

    # ca /usr/ports/
    # pkg_delete automake
    pkg_delete: no such package 'automake' installed

    # ls /var/db/pkg
    ....
    automake-1.4.5_9
    ....
    showing it war there.

    # pkg_delete -r automake-1.4.5_9
    kg_delete: file '/usr/local/share/automake14/COPYING'
    doesn't really exist
    pkg_delete: file '/usr/local/share/automake14/INSTALL'
    doesn't really exist
    pkg_delete: file
    '/usr/local/share/automake14/acinstall' doesn't really
    exist
    pkg_delete: file
    '/usr/local/share/automake14/ansi2knr.1' doesn't
    really exist
    pkg_delete: file
    '/usr/local/share/automake14/ansi2knr.c' doesn't
    really exist
    pkg_delete: file
    '/usr/local/share/automake14/clean-hdr.am' doesn't
    really exist
    .........
    pkg_delete: file '/usr/local/share/automake14/ylwrap'
    doesn't really exist
    pkg_delete: couldn't entirely delete package (perhaps
    the packing list is incorrectly specified?)

    I tried again
    # pkg_delete -r automake-1.4.5_9
    pkg_delete: no such package 'automake-1.4.5_9'
    installed.

    It was very strange. So I prepared to force-install
    the latest version of automake. Before doing so I
    tried to 'make clean' the port trees first to see
    whether it will help

    Now can I stop running 'make clean' by closing the
    Konsole window. In doing so would it cause damage to
    the OS

    Kindly advise.

    TIA

    Furthermore connection to Internet died. I could not
    re-connect it. I think I need to reboot the PC.

    B.R.
    Stephen
