I do it on a regular basis on my experiment boxes... Or are you talking about the whole OS? That would be a bit extreme, I think. I'm using 6.2s right now and am not having any problems with it at all, and I cvsup and portupgrade fairly regular. Before depopulating pkgdb, try installing the portupgrade port, then cvsup, refetch the index file, and run your portupgrade -a. You can list the ports that need upgrading by using the 'portversion | grep ">" | more' command. portupgrade will _only install those listed if you tell it to 'portupgrade -aRrv' If the problem still exists, and linking the file doesn't work, then mayhaps a reinstall of all the ports is necessary (I just don't see how unless you've specifically done something in your build options that put a ripple in the carpet).
