argh!

yes, it's true, i did update the ports by typing cvsup -g -L 2 cvs-supfile with conf:

       # Defaults that apply to all the collections
       *default host=cvsup.uk.openbsd.org
       *default base=/var
       *default prefix=/usr
       *default release=cvs
       *default delete use-rel-suffix compress

       # Ports Collection.
       OpenBSD-ports tag=.

is there anyway to get the old ports back to its place ? e.g. extract ports.tar.gz from the CD-ROM ?

tia.

Please advice.

Looks like you're trying to use -current ports on an old OS, which won't work. A huge amount of work has been done on ports/package infrastructure between 3.7 and 3.8.

There might be unsupported ways around it, but really, just update the OS. There are many improvements between 3.4 and 3.7, and you'll be setup for an easier move to 3.8.
