I'm running into some problems on a desktop box that I've not seen anywhere
else with upgrading multiple ports. The problem is so extensive, and a
solution not being forthcoming, I'm very tempted to make deinstall from
/usr/ports and then pkg_deinstall -a, and start over again. Does anyone have
any advice or input on a procedure like this?
