portmanager status?
I just ran portmanager -s and it said that it has been removed from the ports collection. The MOVED file said sysutils/portmanager||2006-01-19|Author withdrew permission to distribute. Does this mean it will not be available any more, or is this temporary? Does anyone have a recommendation for a replacement for a novice user. Portmanager was very easy to use and I never had a problem with it.

That's the program (as opposed to portupgrade) that's trying to link to the wrong library, and the version you have installed is not the one you would have gotten from the 5.4-RELEASE packages. That could be the problem. I used pkg_add ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages.. for some of the packages, in order to get the most current version. I may have used the wrong ftp folder on one of the them. Is ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5-stable/ or using pkg_add -r the most current packages for ver. 5.4? If so, I think I will just start over with a clean install. If you want to keep your packages up-to-date, I recommend updating your ports tree with cvsup and then using portupgrade or portmanager get the updates. Reinstalling the whole system is quite drastic and completely unnecessary. That's ok, I'm used to it since I mainly deal with windows (till now anyway). If you want to keep your packages up-to-date, I recommend updating your ports tree with cvsup and then using portupgrade or portmanager get the updates. What is the best way to keep the system up-to-date if you use packages? The manual is fairly clear if you use ports, but things get kinda vague (for me anyway) when it comes to packages. I have successfully installed (from packages) a working system with FreeBSD/Postfix/amavisd-new/spamassassin/Clamav/F-Prot/Postgrey/etc, and I want to make sure I can keep the packages updated without crashing the system. I ran: cvsup -h cvsup1.freebsd.org /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile cd /usr/ports/ make fetchindex pkgdb -uvF portsdb -u portupgrade -arPP but nothing got updated. It said everything was current. When I ran pkg_version, the majority of the packages had this . After that I used portupgrade -arR and it updated some packages from the ports tree. I would prefer to use only packages, but it fetches from the .../packages-5-release, which is not current. Any help would be appreciated.

Portupgrade problem
I installed portupgrade from packages today. Whenever I run portupgrade -arR or pkgdb -uvF I get the following message: /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object libcrypt.so.3 not found, required by ruby18 I'm not sure what to do from here. I have ruby-1.8.2_4 and ruby18-bdb1-0.2.2 installed from packages also. Any suggestions on what to do from here?

It looks like it can happen if you upgrade pkg_add or the kernel without the other, and occasional bugs do slip in. What does uname -a tell you?
