Jim, I had the same problem. I think it was a tk port, if I recall correctly. The only way I could fix it was to rm -drv /usr/ports & rm my refuse file, then cvsup again. After that, portsdb -Uu ran properly (though it took forever). Bill Sawyer Information Systems Six Flags St. Louis (636) 9

missing ports; portsdb problem

questions on UFS2 usage and snapshots
