I think in this particular case, a forced upgrade/reinstall of the targeted port and its dependancies must be all what you wanted: # portupgrade -rRf acroread5 /* Or what the _name_ of the package is */ -- -jpeg. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

As previously mentioned, I resolved the original error:
ELF binary type "3" not known
by reinstalling linux_base-8 as recommended. Not sure about this issue
but I will research further. Thanks again.
The stale dependency issue was another story. I discovered, through
comparing the dependency output from pkg_info -rR against the actual
list of dependency data that some of the dependent files were missing.
(I'm sure I must have deleted them inadvertently). Once they were
identified and reinstalled everything was as it should have been.
I don't know if this is a bug in the program or just me. At least now I
know my next steps when I see a stale dependency prompt requesting me to
choose between two apparently non-related packages.
Thanks again for the support.
