I deleted /var/db/pkg/bind (having backed it up) = and the problem has gone away. At the moment, there seem to be a lot of things written about ports and portupgrade and pkgdb etc. Is there a decent guide to this anywhere? = I've seen plenty written about how to use it, but the choice of what to do = with missing origins and the like seems to be a black art. And what's the approved way of upgrading MySQL3 to MySQL4 for instance? = Is it simply a case of removing 3 and installing 4 or is there something = better suited? Regards, Jonathan
