Thanks for all the replies. Funny thing is that when trying the "portupgrade -o" solution and using "pkg_info | grep portupgrade", no results were returned. The /var/db/pkg directory had no portupgrade* entries. Thus I just used "portupgrade -N portupgrade" to upgrade. All seemed OK. I did notice a "make config" window that asked me which version of Berkeley DB to use for the backend. Not knowing, I just chose the default of ">=2" and the port built without error. Next I attempted "pkgdb -L" suggested in the pkg-message file. It returned this error: blacksheep# pkgdb -L [Updating the pkgdb in /var/db/pkg ... /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db: unexpected file type or format -- Invalid argument; rebuild needed] [Rebuilding the pkgdb in /var/db/pkg ... /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db: unexpected file type or format -- Invalid argument: Cannot update the pkgdb!]: Cannot update the pkgdb!] I assume this is due to choosing the incorrect Berkeley DB version? So should I rebuild the portupgrade port and choose Berkeley DB 1.85 or is it recommended to convert the pkgdb to the newer version? If I should convert, how? Thanks, Drew -- Be a Great Magician!
