I will do a update of my sources and build world asap. I was simply under the impression that I could safely upgrade only the ports. So that's how I got started down this. And then when things went bad I wanted to fix it before I tried upgrading anything else and possibly compunding things. >> _______________________________________________ >> freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list >> http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions >> To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.o >> >> > From what I've heard, portsdb -Uu is not preferred in 5.3, rather one > should do make fetchindex in /usr/ports then run portsdb -u afterwards. > I've only HEARD that this is correct, but it worked for me..... so make > of it what you will.... I guess that's the fix. Everything seemed to go just fine. Everything has been rebuilt (except OO, and a sun-jdk... but I think I installed them as packages anyway). So I guess I'll be doing something like the following to upgrade my ports from now on: # cvsup -g -L 2 /root/ports-supfile # /usr/ports/make fetchindex # portsdb -u # pkgdb -F # portupgrade -a If this looks incorrect please let me know. > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to > "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > Thanks for everyone's assistance. -- Regards, Eric
