Because I was at my wits end and this was one of the only things I was
finding :(

I've been doing:
# cd /usr/ports
# cvs -q up -Pd
Should have I been doing:
# cd /usr/ports
# cvs -q up -rOPENBSD_4_2 -Pd
If so will it work ok if just run it now or will it have issues?
Also if I remember properly I tried this before I did a ports upgrade
and it got stuck basically at the same place except the minor version
was 1.4.12 instead of .14. If I do manage to revert the ports tree (if
that will work ok)... whats the solution to the initial problem?
Guys thanks in advance :)
