Run everything as root. pkgdb -aFfuv That should fix most if not all problems. If it fails, you will have to run: pkgdb -F to fix them manually. If you have 'portupgrade' you should also have portsclean. Try running this to clean up any crud left from you old builds. portsclean -CDDLP Now run: portsnap fetch && portsnap update Now you can run the portupgrade command. You can probably run it like this: portupgrade -aFRr That should cover all of your bases. Personally I prefer 'portmanager' but each to his own.

Trouble building abiword in the Ports Collection
What I have done: * Installed 6.1, including the Ports Collection, from CD. * Ran portsnap fetch. * Attempted portsnap update. ? It sez this only works after an extract. What is the point of installing the collection from CD if it has to be completely reinstalled from a download anyway? * Ran portsnap extract. * Built richtext, apparently successfully. * Attempted to build abiword. It complained about a glibc version problem, and said to run gnomelogalyzer.sh. gnomelogalyzer.sh found nothing specific, but said to run 'portupgrade -a' on general principles. ? Why should this be needed? Shouldn't a freshly-downloaded portsnap already be up to date? * Attempted 'portupgrade -a'.
