Portupgrade works superbly, except when rebuilding packages for dependencies. In that case, it generates all sorts of stale dependencies in the packages it creates. The author claims it is not his fault, as per http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/35459 My workaround is to every so often just do a foreach loop on all packages running pkg_tarup to fix up the stale deps in the packages I use locally. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Vivek Khera, Ph.D. Khera Communications, Inc.
