That statement doesn't make sense. Portupgrade upgrades pors, not the system. So you can't upgrade from 4.2 to 4.3 with portupgrade. If you actually upgraded the system, how did you do it? Did you then use portupgrade to upgrade all the ports you had installed? If not, that may be part of the problem. Generally, when upgrading across a release, you want to deinstall the ports in large chunks - all of them is best - and then reinstall the ports from the new ports in the system. http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
