Newbie Package Questions

Hi All,
I'm new to FreeBSD and a first time poster to this
list. I have used Linux for several years but would
like to see what FreeBSD is like.
tiny# uname -a
FreeBSD tiny.brc.localnet
6.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE #0:
Thu Nov 3 09:36:13 UTC 2005
root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC
i386
The daily security report has identified 10 problem
applications. So far, I have fixed one app,
lynx-2.8.5 by deleting it with pkg_delete. Then added
the 2.8.5_2 package.
Simple, no dependancy problems.
Next, I tried to uninstall ruby-1.8.2_4 but found two
dependencies:
ruby18-bdb1-0.2.2
portupgrade-20041226_7
which uninstalled with no problem. Then on to
uninstall of ruby-1.8.2_4 :
tiny# pkg_delete ruby-1.8.2_4
pkg_delete:
'/usr/local/share/ri/1.8/system/created.rid' fails
original MD5 checksum - not deleted.
pkg_delete: unable to completely remove directory
'/usr/local/share/ri/1.8/system'
pkg_delete: couldn't entirely delete package (perhaps
the packing list is
incorrectly specified?)
tiny#
tiny# ls /usr/local/share/ri/1.8/
ls: /usr/local/share/ri/1.8/: No such file or
directory
tiny# ls /usr/local/share/ri/1.8/system
ls: /usr/local/share/ri/1.8/system: No such file or
directory
tiny#
I'm not sure how to proceed with this one.
A different package problem:
tiny# pkg_delete ghostscript-gnu-nox11-7.07_13
tiny# pkg_add -r
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6-stable/All/ghostscript-gnu-nox11-7.07_15.tbz
Fetching
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6-stable/All/ghostscript-gnu-nox11-7.07_15.tbz...
Done.
pkg_add: package 'ghostscript-gnu-nox11-7.07_15'
conflicts with ghostscript-gnu-7.07_13
pkg_add: please use pkg_delete first to remove
conflicting package(s) or -f to force installation
tiny# pkg_delete ghostscript-gnu-7.07_13
pkg_delete: package 'ghostscript-gnu-7.07_13' is
required by these other packages
and may not be deinstalled:
gv-3.6.1
apsfilter-7.2.6
ggv-2.8.5
gnome2-2.10.2
tiny#
Do I really have to delete / update all these apps
just to update ghostscript.
One last example:
tiny# pkg_delete libiconv-1.9.2_1
pkg_delete: package 'libiconv-1.9.2_1' is required by
these other packages
and may not be deinstalled:
gettext-0.14.5
windowmaker-0.92.0
libgpg-error-1.0_1
... plus another 125 packages
Good grief, what am I doing wrong? This cannot be the
correct way to manage errata.
Please accept my apologies for the long message, I
wanted to give a fuller picture of these problems.
Jim
