What a sticky situation. First of all, I think you would do best right now to build your own index. 'portsdb -uU' will take a while, but it will match exactly what you have installed, which will probably help getting the dependency comparisons correct. Also, run 'pkgdb -F' until it stops reporting problems. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
