(the *only* thing I do from ports, no pkg available due to licensing issues). I crapped out part-way through with pkg-vulnerability issues of some of the dependencies. I tried to restart the process w/ commands to (try to) tell it to ignore those issues, but it doesn't think it has the libflash-plugin port. it is indeed there in the ports tree. I have done a few attempted cleanups, to no avail. If I delete /usr/ports entirely & begin again, will that work OK ? Would a 'portsnap fetch update' work correctly to re-populate the ports tree ?
