I then ran portmaster -a . it prompted me to select options from the blue options screen, I selected pkgng support. Anyway, the update of portmaster failed. I ran pkg2ng, it went through all of my ports, etc. Just following instruction that were printed to the terminal. It has screwed up spamassassin to the point where I cannot even install it now; either using make install clean, pkg install ... , portmaster mail/p5-Mail-SpamAsassin, etc, etc. There may be others too, I can't tell right now because my entire ports system has been corrupted and therefore rendered useless. i'm on a different machine now so I don't have all the errors i've been getting available right now i Think i'm going to have remove every single port and start again. I'm really peed off about this. Moving forward and progressing is fine, but there are clearly plenty of problems with this new pkg mechanism. I've been sat here all day trying to fix the mess and i'm no further forward. A total waste of day. Aren't these things tested properly before forcing them upon us users - it's us that suffer. I've had to take my mail server offline and route mail to another whilst I get this sorted. Surely someone else has had this issue today, or recently. ???
