For each package that has been set to the wrong location, use the -o option to portupgrade (perhaps with the -f option) to rebuild it from the correct location.

How can I rebuild prots databases?
I'n updating a bunch of older (around 4.2) machines. On ne of them I seem to have managed to toatly muck up the ports dayabases :0( I'm getting things like this when I run portupgrade: ! (pgaccess-0.98.6)(missing origin) ! (acroread-3.02) (missing origin) ! (netscape-wrapper-2000.07.07)(missing origin) I think the best plan is to completly rebuild from scratch the databases that contain available ports, and the ports that are installed on this machine. I've tried various combinations of pkgdb -F and pkgd -Uu. to no avail. Can I just remove all of these databases, and rebuiold them from scratch? If so, how do I acomplish this? -- They that would give up essential liberty for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. -- Benjamin Franklin ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Try portsdb -fu but I think I would manually instally ruby-1.8, ruby18-bdb1-0.2.2, and portupgrade first.
