Sorry for the formatting. (The other webmail I could use is even more problematic).

Only answers I've received were to use packages via pkgng. (Not an option). For the other 9 servers, I tried it a little differently. - switch to pkgng - svn base and ports - upgrade base - upgrade ports with portupgrade. Worked fine for 8 of 9. Will be rolling the 5 broke servers back (yes, we have bkups) ;) Will leave the 8 working ones running pkgbg, and see how it goes. Still wondering, how to repair the database w/o pkgfb -F so portupgrade will work? And as I understand, poudriere must be used instead of portupgrade to create packages?

(Hoping also for a GEOM flowchart, a CUPS flowchart, ... but that is off topic for this email...) BTW I've a methodology to rapidly dispense with unknown-but-need-upgrading dependency upgrading (which just uncovered a slew of ports which won't build, most with a similar error) and it heavily relies upon the /var/db/pkg/ structure for ease of use. I also wish that an adjunct to the pkg(ng) include an option for that structure so that that ease of use is not abstracted in a yet unknown way. If this will all be minor issues vs actual implementation of a v10 default pkg system, I apologize in advance. (After all, most or all of the ports which won't currently build here I seldom if ever actually have time to use...) J.
