Personally, I prefer portmanager. I would suggest that you empty your
"/usr/ports/distfiles" directory entirely. If you have java installed,
download the source files needed to build it and place them in the that
directory. Update your entire ports tree and then run:
portmanager -u -l -y -f
That will rebuild your entire ports system in the correct order.
Depending on the speed of your system and number of ports installed,
that might take a day, give or take a few hours. I would shutdown 'X'
prior to doing the update also. When done, reboot and all should be
well. I have done it before with great success.
BTW, you might also want to set: "BATCH=yes" sans quotation marks in
your "/etc/make.conf" file. It will eliminate those pesky pop-up
messages concerning configuring the port(s).
