This past weekend, I CVSup'd the ports tree and prepared to run

Project 's upgrade script to upgrade to 2.12.
I use a dial-up modem had been timed out on several occasions.during
the process This happened about three times during the night and I
had to restart the upgrade each time. Note that I failed to use the
restart flag recommended during the first restart. I finally ended
up with a "succesful upgrade..." message even though I now have only
188 ports after beginning with 297. Amongst the missing is gnome
2.12 itself.
I'm hoping there is some way to get things back to normal and rerun
the upgrade without re-installing the missing ports. BTW, I did back
up /var/db/pkg.
Any advice would be appreciated. I run 5.4 -RELEASE #0. I'm running
this message from a second machine but should be able to supply the
logs if needed.
Thanks,

gnome_upgrade_lst.xxxx in your tmp folder should contain a list of all
the software that the script was going to update. Compare that list
with the output from pkg_version/portversion to see what needs
reinstalling. Reinstall it via whatever method you like (portinstall,
cd /user/port/xxx/xxx && make install). I am in a similar situation
but I had the output from portversion from before the upgrade to rely
on (and wrote a script that made a list of the differences).
HTH,

I was able to compare the list of files the script was going to update
to output from pkg_version to get an idea of what was missing. I
started with gnome2 (cd /user/port/x11/gnome2 && make install) and now
have about a dozen ports left to install. (Think I'll try portmanager
at a later date when I feel more comfortable with it.)
I certainly want to thank you all for your help. Can't wait 'til next
upgrade.
Thanks,
Bob Perry
