New p5p repository image installation requires reboot for removal
Posted: 25. Mar 2021, 22:23
The new p5p repository image package (tested 6.1.19) allows you to install VirtualBox without a reboot, but uninstalling it creates a new boot environment and will not remove the package from the current image.
I also tried "pkg uninstall --deny-new-be virtualbox" and it refused.
This makes no sense at all, as it was able to install without a reboot.
I also tried "pkg uninstall --deny-new-be virtualbox" and it refused.
Code: Select all
# pkg uninstall --deny-new-be virtualbox
pkg uninstall: The proposed operation cannot be performed on a live image.
Code: Select all
