What I do to make sure I'm current with my ports is a simple portversion -v | grep '<' This tells you which ports you have installed that have lower version numbers than their skeletons (i.e. the ports that need to be upgraded.) As for the log, it looks fine to me. <log snipped> > ===> Registering installation for Sablot-0.81_1 > ===> Cleaning for libiconv-1.7_2 > ===> Cleaning for autoconf213-2.13.000227_1 > ===> Cleaning for automake14-1.4.5 > ===> Cleaning for gettext-0.10.35_1 > ===> Cleaning for gmake-3.79.1 > ===> Cleaning for libtool-1.3.4_2 > ===> Cleaning for m4-1.4_1 > ===> Cleaning for expat-1.95.2 > ===> Cleaning for Sablot-0.81_1 > ---> Removing the temporary backup files > [Updating the pkgdb <format:bdb1_btree> in /var/db/pkg ... - 132 packages > found (-0 +1) . done] > ---> Reporting the results (+:succeeded / -:ignored / *:skipped / !:failed) > + textproc/sablotron (Sablot-0.81_1) Was this what you meant by the packages listed at end? Those are the things that Sablot depends on (as opposed to the things that depend on Sablot.) The -r switch will upgrade the things that depend on Sablot. The -R switch will upgrade the things that Sablot depends on. I think this is where the confusion is. NB: Using either of the switches can make builds last ages. I can count on one hand the number of times I've used them in the past. > > Gordon > PS Sorry for the long output - just thought it would be beneficial!!
