No update station & software station/Deleted py39-setup tools

Post by newbutold »

I was trying to build some software from ports to get the latest versions. Namely Calibre and novelwriter but they always ran into conflicts returning an error saying no module named py-setup tools towards the end. I tried modifying the make files but it would not work. So I tried to delete the instance of py39-setup tools and other py39 related packages via software station…. I had a feeling it would break something… but I figured I could just put it back. It did break something… it broke everything and now I can no longer access software station and the update station. My first thought is to backup important files and opt for a fresh install of ghostbsd but I was hoping someone here could help me find another way as I am somewhat far away from home.

Thanks in advance.

You can rebuild them with ports or do pkg install ghostbsd-utils.

If you use the ports tree from GitHub, it might want to rebuild everything with py311. The default Python has moved to python3.11.

I resolved this by just using pkg to install software-station and update-station
