Try running the mergebase.sh script at /usr/ports/Tools/scripts/mergebase.sh. My guess is that in the past you began the upgrade path from 6.9 to 7.x but didn't quite finish the procedure (note that is very much a guess). You should probably read through the script before you run it, just in case your system isn't set up as it expects. >=20 > So I guess I'm gonna do a clean install of all of X....but can you tell= =20 > me which packages I should remove exactly? Depends very much on what you have installed - pkg_info(1)'s -r and -R options will help you to build up an overview of what you need to=20 remove/update, if mergebase doesn't work. It's a good idea to save a list of currently-installed ports to refer to in the event this all goes *pop*. Good luck!
