I cvsup'd my system again and found a new a warning/recommendation in /usr/ports/UPDATING stating that users of textproc/expat2 should force upgrade of any ports depending on it (e.g., portupgrade -rf textproc/expat2). I ran pkg_info -r bugbuddy-2.12.1 (one of the ports in need of upgrading) prior to the forced upgrade, and found fam-2.6.9_6 on the list of dependencies. I ran the same command after the forced upgrade and fam was replaced by gamin-0.1.5._2. I can only assume that once the forced upgrade is complete that gamin will have replaced fam in every case since both cannot exist at the same time. I also assume that this is not a major issue but just wanted to bring, what I hope is, closure to my original question. Thnx, Bob Perry I apologize, but it seems like I attached this note to an earlier response which failed to include the command: portupgrade -o devel/gamin -f fam This command very conveniently replaced fam with gamin and greatly facilitated the forced upgrades.
