Hi Ruben Sorry to get cross with you but it has been clear from your responses that you have not actually troubled to read the detail of what I posted. The origibnal posting refrred to the issue as being one that came as a result of doing something similar to the OP for the thread. There was a second part (relating to getting the info on bsdpan into the DB. a. If you had read carefully you would have found that I have already tried: posting another thread b. I had already tried pkg_delete without success. c. I had tried package_deinstall again without success. d. I am totally puzzled why bsdpan-Pod_Perldoc should be showing a dependency on perl-5.8-9 when I have upgraded to 10. I will be very happy to get on with it when I know how to achieve that nirvana. In the meantime those who get try to get picky without reading a thread carefully do tend to offeset the work of so many people who are friendly and helpful Thanks in advance for positive contributions david ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Let me rephrase. I don't see a way in portupgrade to start over where
I left off. However, pkg_info -R lang/perl* shows that all my ports
depend on 5.10 and no ports are still depending upon 5.8. Is it safe
to assume that the reboot happened after portupgrade had finished?
Nope. With this info you can assume that step 2/3 worked. Not the step
3/3. I dont know how to restart at the stage it was before reboot as I
dont use portupgrade.
Personnaly, as portmaster failed with some ports and abort the whole
update process, I wrote a simple sh script which loop over the packages
which need perl (got via the via pkg_info -R, need reordering
thought...), exec portmaster ${PKG}, and keep a list of which reinstall
succeed and which failed.

Can anyone tell me how to fix this one:
