So I can't see what you marked as yellow. > Why do you think I should configure to PCBSD pkgng-repository? Because there is no official FreeBSD pkgng repo, yet. (This is a long story) If you want to use pkgng, you must convert all your packages to pkgng format before you install new ones. Else pkgng will try to install the same package as pkgng again, leading to confusion (at best) or a broken installation. There's no shortcut. Additionally, as some packages change names or defaults change, it's best (for a newbie) to de-install everything first. That's why I suggested it. I took the liberty to copy your mail to the mailing-list. Maybe someone else can help, too. ;-) Best Regards, Rainer
