Since I have been rather busy with other issues (e.g. work ;-) ), it has been a while since I had upgraded my system. However, with the Thanksgiving holidays upon us I decided to bring everything up to spec. I first started by upgrading my binary packages using the following commands: # pkg update # pkg upgrade This proceeded to take it's usual 3-4 hours (mostly due to timeouts while downloading package updates). Eventually, it finished except for updating CUPS. There I got a conflict: pkg: cups-2.2.1 conflicts with cups-base-2.0.3_3 (installs files into the same place). Problematic file: /usr/local/bin/cancel I then did a 'pkg autoremove' which completed with no errors. But the conflict still exists. Is there a way to bypass this as it seems to prevent the 'pkg upgrade' from completing. Should I remove CUPS? Then re- install it? Unfortunately, this has caused some serious havoc as I have lost my GUI when I tried to reboot. I suspect it has to do with the failed upgrade. Suggestions? Thanks, Patrick
