I was able to work through most of them (I think), following comments in UPDATING and online, but I still have an issue when it tries to remove the current version (xorg-7.2) and install the new version: # portupgrade -a ---> Upgrading 'xorg-7.2' to 'xorg-7.4_2' (x11/xorg) ---> Building '/usr/ports/x11/xorg' ===> Cleaning for xorg-7.4_2 This is a meta-port, meaning that it just depends on its subparts of the port. It won't build and install all the parts until you have typed make install This port does not ensure things are upgraded; use portupgrade if you want to upgrade X.Org. If you simply type 'make install' it may use over 2GB to build all of the subports. You can install the ports singly if you are low on space. ===> Extracting for xorg-7.4_2 ===> Patching for xorg-7.4_2 ===> Configuring for xorg-7.4_2 ---> Backing up the old version tar: nil@comment ORIGIN:x11/xorg: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors. pkg_create: make_dist: tar command failed with code 256 ---> Uninstalling the old version ---> Deinstalling 'xorg-7.2' pkg_delete: package 'xorg-7.2' doesn't have a prefix ** Listing the failed packages (-:ignored / *:skipped / !:failed) ! xorg-7.2 (pkg_delete failed) ** Listing the failed packages (-:ignored / *:skipped / !:failed) ! x11/xorg (xorg-7.2) (uninstall error) trying to uninstall with pkg_delete directly also fails: # pkg_delete xorg-7.2 pkg_delete: package 'xorg-7.2' doesn't have a prefix (I had earlier touched a few files in the pkg db directory for +COMMENT and such to get past other "tar" errors in portupgrade, but other than that, this is mostly "normal" port stuff. I installed with ports, I updated with ports, etc). Tim Newsham http://www.thenewsh.com/~newsham/
