I don't remember adding them but that's not saying much ;) I'll try removing those files and do another run at updating the ports. Thanks for the help. Jim __ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo!

But, I didn't bother to remove my recently cvsup'ed ports collection (sans other lang). I just edited my refuse file to allow alternate lang ports back in and re-cvsup'ed. Afterward, my portsdb -uU also succeeded. So, basically what I'm saying is that I'd try the above recommendation but without rm-ing /usr/ports. This should save some download time. Plus, if for some reason it doesn't work, you can always clean out your ports dir later. -- Kendall Gifford WEB: http://kendall.jedis.com/ EMAIL: REPLY TO NEWSGROUP ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
