Does portversion use the index file?  If so I thought you had to cd /=20
usr/src && make fetchindex, maybe after a cvsup.  Also I seem to =20
remember using portversion -l "<" when I used to use it a while back.  =20
To find the old ports.

Just read the man page online, -L is a inverse limit, it excludes.  So =20
if you have not cvsuped since you last upgraded that would be why you =20
get nothing.  You say it seems to run forever, have you let it finish =20
or do you kill it?  After you do the pkgdb -uv does it still take =20
forever to finish, or does it seem to just hang?
