Stop make: don't know how to make show-depends. Stop RR> scrollkeeper has the following new depends (need to re-tsort): rr> [make0 stopped in /usr/pkgsrc/textproc/scrollkeeper] RR> Tsorting dependency graph RR> Selecting scrollkeeper (textproc/scrollkeeper) as next package to replace RR> Replacing scrollkeeper-0.3.14nb10 make: don't know how to make clean. Stop make: stopped in /usr/pkgsrc/textproc/scrollkeeper *** 'make replace' failed for package scrollkeeper. *** Please read the errors listed above, fix the problem, *** then re-run pkg_rolling-replace to continue. As far as I know, scrollkeeper is necessary for Gnome, which I use, so I can't exclude it. What should be done to fix it? pkg_rolling-replace is at this point usable only by people who understand pkgsrc well enough to get over the various issues with replacing individual packages. When used with a system that is mostly up to date, the amount of manual intervention needed is small. In this case, scrollkeeper has been replaced by rarian. Go to textproc/rarian and do (as root) 'make replace package OLDNAME=scrollkeeper' to replace scrollkeeper with rarian. This change is expresed in CHANGES but pkg_rolling-replace doesn't yet have code to extract the change and do this step automatically.
