Hi All,
I've been having trouble with the ports over the past few days. I had
done a port update with cvsup. Then a portupgrade -a. Since then metacity
has been dropping core every hour or so it seems, and generally acting
wierd.
I did another port update today with cvsup, and then
'portupgrade -Rrf metacity'. This didn't seem to fix much, however it
seems now that my portupgrade port (that which provides portupgrade,
portversion, port* etc.) does not work anymore.
su-2.05b# portversion -v

Same stuff happens when I use any of the portupgrade applications. I have
tried going into ports/lang/ruby and doing a
'make deinstall && make clean && make install' same with
ports/sysutils/portupgrade but nothing worked.
Any ideas how I can get my system back to normal? I have serious misgivings
about every trying to update/upgrade my ports & installed packages again
:(
How am I to know when things are broken or stable?
