Yes. portupgrade screws up the port registration files when you run pkgdb -F. These are the files in /var/db/pkg/{portname}/+CONTENTS Portmanager does not mess with the registration files and can usually straighten out the damage caused by pkgdb -F. As portmanager runs it gives you good feedback on what it is doing and why, and if you disagree or just question something it is perfectly safe to ctrl-C out of it. When start again and it will just pick up from when you left off. -Mike _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
