I have not updated all my ports since the end of Noviember.

I am still using cvsup to update the machine daily and have, what I hope
is, an uptodate kernel and all programes.

# uname -a
FreeBSD home.encontacto.net 9.1-STABLE FreeBSD 9.1-STABLE #391 r229960M:
Sat Jan 26 05:06:18 CST 2013
root@home.encontacto.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ENCONTACTO
amd64

The first strange thing that I notice is:

#=A0 portversion -v portmaster
[Updating the pkgdb <format:bdb_btree> in /var/db/pkg ... USING PKGNG
- 959 packages found (-2 +3) (...)... done]
USING PKGNG
portmaster-3.14_8=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0=A0=A0>=A0 succeeds port (port has 3.11=
)

The last thing I remember doing era updating ports to PKGNG and that could
be my problem.=A0 If so, I have no idea how to reconstruct and I'm also not
sure that cvsup is still working as before.=A0=A0=A0The kernel seems to wor=
k fine.

Another error message that I find unusual and can't explain is:

# portmaster -a
=3D=3D=3D>>> Gathering distinfo list for installed ports

=3D=3D=3D>>> Starting check of installed ports for available updates

=3D=3D=3D>>> The ports-mgmt/portmanager port has been deleted: Has expired:=
 Does
not support modern ports features such as MOVED, is lacking upstream and
active contributions, and does not support pkgng.=A0 Consider using
ports-mgmt/portmaster, ports-mgmt/portupgrade or pkgng
=3D=3D=3D>>> Aborting update

I can't understand the relationship to portupgrade.

I'm sure that I missed something very important since portmaster is trying
to use portupgrade.

Thanks for any help.

The message about portmanager > portupgrade is not "using" it AFAIK.
Portmanager may still work unless you remove it or permit portmaster to do =
so.
AFAIK csup/cvsup will no longer work to upgrade ports, I switched all CPU o=
ver to svn (devel/subversion) awhile back and have posted in the forum info=
rmative
posts.=A0 As to svn for the kernel sources, the freebsd-questions list this=
 month
(jan/enero 2013) has a detailed howto also in that regard.
I would hesitate to use portmaster -a...
portmaster -L --index-only | tee -a /tmp/upgrade.log
wait a while...
grep -A 3 -B 3=A0 version /tmp/upgrade.log=A0 | tee -a /tmp/upgrade2.log
in one xterm=A0=A0 "head -10 /tmp/upgrade2.log | tail -12
=A0......................"head -20 /tmp/upgrade2.log | tail -12
......................."head -30 /tmp/upgrade2.log | tail -12
then in another xterm...
portmaster -d -B -P -i -g devel/doxygen devel/cmake # etc as shown in each
segment of the latter file from the pipes.

Sorry for any typos or incomplete information or inaccuracies or easier way=
s others may currently do it,
especially if one has lesser than thousands of ports installed.
