I forgot which system I was ssh'd into and ran "freebsd-update install" for the 2nd time on one system before rebuilding all the ports, and even pkg won't run now as the libutil version it's linked to no longer exists. I can afford to have the system down for a day or two, and I'm willing to be diverted a little for a learning opportunity, so should I a) try to recover the system from its current state, b) recover the entire system from backup and start over, or c) build a new 10.0-RELEASE system from scratch and recover the data from backup? Thanks, Dale
