Since you don't bother telling us what problems you have been having, your questions are impossible to answer. I will just note that I certainly did not have any problems at all updating Perl from 5.8.6 to 5.8.7, but then I almost never have any problems updating ports on my systems. -- Erik Trulsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Hmm, I don't know about a *better* "Piece Of Software" ;) but Portmanager also claims it can update all your ports, and goes about it slightly differently. Let's say it's "Similar" and remove the need for asbestos underclothing. I still find myself using both it and portupgrade from time to time, though, but I can't for sure answer the "why" on that HTH, Kevin Kinsey ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

If you survive, you'll praise portupgrade for the rest of your life.
