If you are running -current or if you update to a newer release AND are running ports that are NOT in packages then you will need to do the following: For -current: Update your ports tree at the SAME time as you update -current, never before or after. make clean make update make repackage make reinstall For a release upgrade, do the same except only once until you upgrade again. Do not use ports if you can use pkg_add -ui instead. Chris Bennett
