It only takes a minute to read, but saves you a lifetime of questions. As I understand, you're dealing with "kind of" bug in glib20 port. You might be lucky enough so that portupgrade will get over it - and fix everything. By the way, did you update the INDEX files in /usr/ports? Run portsdb -uUF to fetch and install a fresh index. Do it every time after cvsupping your ports tree. For now, try: # cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade # make install <If it fails, post the errors here, please> # cvsup -g -L 2 <your-ports-supfile> # portsdb -uUF # portversion -l\< <Show's what's outdated> # portupgrade -arR <Tries to upgrade what's outdated>
