I was following the suggestion in the Handbook to have my refuse file include the unnecessary languages. However, this has the undesirable interaction with portupgrade to cause the dreaded 'deorigin' error. I removed my refuse file, reluctantly did a cvsup to download *all* of the languages, even though I have no way to use or understand any of them, and then I was able to resume using portupgrade. Either someone should change the Handbook to make it clear that if you follow the suggestion and actually *use* the suggested refuse file you will then be unable to follow the other suggestion and ever use portupgrade, or else fix portupgrade so that it does not dump it guts out if a language dependency is missing. Very frustrating and totally unnecessary. Especially since I now have to waste disk space on language ports. /Joe
