Conflict when trying to install a pkg

jackiebaron · 05-28-2015, 09:55 AM

I'm trying to install zabbix server on my FreeBSD box but I get this error partly through the process:

Installing py27-setuptools27-5.5.1_1...
pkg-static: py27-setuptools27-5.5.1_1 conflicts with py27-setuptools-1.1.7_1 (installs files into the same place). Problematic file: /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/easy-install.pth.dist
*** Error code 70

I ran portsnap fetch extract to get the latest and greatest of everything but now there's this.

Thanks for any help.

py27-setuptools-1.1.7 seems really old to me. You should deinstall that one, and reinstall /usr/ports/devel/py-setuptools.

Thanks Marco, I de-installed it and the installation get a little further now but still fails trying to install x110tools

See thread "At my wit's end!" in this page.

Yes, version upgrades of Perl and Python can be tricky because so many ports depend on them. Problem is, normally all ports depending on perl/python have to be rebuild/reinstalled when a new version is introduced. In these cases it's important to follow the right steps (usually explained in /usr/ports/UPDATING).
