I don't think that works in this case... Sorry, I should have provided more details - I didn't realize this was a package-specific problem. So here's the blow-by-blow: I tried the new "update" feature of pkg_add following my 3.8-to-3.9 upgrade. This worked well for the most part - the exceptions being unrar & unarj; a couple of archivers required by clamav. The pkg_add update said it couldn't upgrade those packages. As I understand it, pkg_add doesn't work with these apps due to some political/licensing issue - they are provided as ports ONLY (not packages). So - after doing the "package add w/ update" to upgrade all of my other packages, unrar & unarj have to be upgraded from ports via "make && make install". I checked version numbers & saw that unarj did not need upgrading, but my existing version of unrar was an old one. make completed without incident; make install failed iaw the error message above. Perhaps the solution is to rip out clamav, and go through the whole mess of other dependencies to get this package upgraded... but I'm hoping there is a better/easier way. Anyway, any advice is appreciated. Thnx, J
