I've got a similar list of dependencies but only subversion and apr actually use BDB. The rest seem to be dependencies on apr. I went a step further and set "WITH_BDB_VER=5" in /etc/make.conf and proceeded to update. At the end, I still had db42-4.2.52_5. I suspect it was because that neither apr or subversion needed updated. I'm not sure if I should switch the origin of BDB for involved ports, do forced rebuild of a few ports or if doing a recursive update is needed. Some additional direction would be much appreciated. My eyes glazed over trying to read the Wiki link to updating since I don't know database vocabulary so you're not alone ;-) Randy
