Thanks for the tip, but unfortunately it isn't really very helpful. I guess I didn't clarify the catch-22 in my previous post. In order to get X upgraded, I need to get portupgrade working. This requires that X already be upgraded. This, in return requires portupgrade... I was starting with trying to get Ruby because that addressed the vulnerabilities I was trying it initially address. However, that's pretty irrelevant at the moment. Where I'm stuck is getting either portupgrade working or getting X upgraded, both of which seem to be dependent on the other having already happened...
