That may be why i haven't experienced your problem w/ my ~490 lines strong refuse file... http://www103.pair.com/parv/comp/unix/cf/freebsd/refuse.ports ...While making index, it helps immensely that ports that are being refused do not have corresponding directores in existence. Otherwise, one would get "no entry" error; "non-existent -- dependency list incomplete" error can be safely ignored, IMO. I did try once to build/install port(s) via portupgrade, but the end result was more work than otherwise. I haven't bothered w/ or trusted portupgrade to maintain anything other than install ports database ever since. > 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 ...
