If you check with pkg_version then you will see that non of them are reported with a higher version (i.e. >). You can rebuilt varius package related stuf to be on the safe side. One command is portsdb -uU. There can be one or two other relevant command but i don't know these by memory. You can find them, do, in the portupgrade manual. -- Alex Articles based on solutions that I use: http://www.kruijff.org/alex/FreeBSD/
