Question

I have a virtual machine in VMWare Workstation 7.0 with OpenBSD 4.4 and I was installing some ports. Most of them were installed correctly but not two. I had to cancel them because the system didn’t respond and the installation wasn’t at 100%. One of these ports is dbus.

Now, I want to reinstall these ports, how can I do that?

Answer

The right answer to that question is deleting the partial package first and then install it again. How you can do that??? In section 15 of OpenBSD FAQ explain that is better to eliminate the partial package first and then install it.

$pkg_info -a # List all packages installed.partial-cups # Partial packages appear with partial word first.$pkg_delete partial-cups # This command eliminate the patial cups package.$pkg_add cups # At last, install the package again.
