> Did you update your ports tree before attempting this? 

No.  Thanks for the advice -- I'm new to FreeBSD.

I started a 'portsupdate', but 5-6 times it's stopped
asking for operator input.  It puts out what is probably
intended to be nicely formatted output, but in my
emacs shell buffer ends up as a bunch of gobbledygook.
I've typed 'ok' in response to each one and it's progressing,
but slowly since I'm not at work to babysit it 24 hrs-a-day.
I came in twice over the weekend to get it going again
and had to start it again with an 'ok' this morning when I got in.

I stopped it part way thru and tried the '-y' option that
I found in the portsupdate man page, but that doesn't
help -- it still sits and waits for my input.

It would seem more reasonable to me to default to
'yes' rather that stopping to ask for input, but maybe
I'm missing something.
