I use irt all the time with great success. portmanager -u -l -y -p It will create a log file so you can see what transpired. I also will check all the ports to see that they are actually built with the correct dependencies, something portupgrade fails to do consistently. I have no idea about portmanster since I have not had great success with it either; abet, that was several versions ago. In any case, update your ports tree just prior to running the update process. If all else fails, you could just run: portmanager -u -f That would rebuild everything although at the expense of considerable time depending on your system. On mine, it is almost a day. -- Jerry gesbbb@yahoo.com The so-called lessons of history are for the most part the rationalizations of the victors. History is written by the survivors. Max Lerner
