I have tried endlessly to no avail to upgrade binary the packages on Freebsd to the latest version. I have tried: *portupgrade -PP -a *portmaster -PP -a *pkg_update All fail miserably and totally and have left the system in an unuseable state. Why can't FreeBSD just make the package system "just work". Right after installing FreeBSD I should be able to type a single command such as update_packages and it should update all packages on the system, with no errors and without requiring any configurations to be troubleshooted, it should work out of the box. Why not? Why is something so simple so difficult and impossible? Ubuntu can do it, why not FreeBSD? Why cant FreeBSD Just make the package upgrades work.
