After running "portsnap fetch" I then do "portmaster -L > portmaster.out" to see which ports need updating. But the output stops on one of the perl ports: ===>>> p5-Text-ParseWords-3.1 ===>>> The textproc/p5-Text-ParseWords port has been deleted: Module included in core perl ===>>> Aborting update Running "pkg_delete" reveals dependencies: pkg_delete: package 'p5-Text-ParseWords-3.1' is required by these other packages and may not be deinstalled: p5-ExtUtils-ParseXS-2.19 p5-Module-Build-0.28.08_2 How to remedy? 2. freebsd-update fails to run: mail# freebsd-update fetch Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... none found. Fetching public key from update.FreeBSD.org... failed. No mirrors remaining, giving up. Yet a FreeBSD-7.0 machine with an identical /etc/freebsd-update.conf file runs fine. How to debug? Thanks in advances for clues on fixing either or both these issues. dn # uname -a FreeBSD mail.networktest.com 6.3-RELEASE-p1 FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE-p1 #1: Fri Feb 15 14:47:09 PST 2008 root@mail.networktest.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MYSMP i386
