You have things that no long exist as parts of portupgrade and your version can't deal with that. It is easier if you delete the portupgrade, ruby-*, pkg_tartup, and what ever is left and reinstall it. FWIW, it works flawlessly now. I just recently upgraded to the 1216 version by using "portupgrade -rpuf ruby".
Just out of curiosity, wouldn't 'portupgrade -rR portupgrade' work as well? -- Roger To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
