I expect the reason you won't find a port verifier is that the usual way to recover from a situation like yours is to reinstall them all: # portupgrade --all --force This might take longer than trying to verify them, but it has the advantage of not needing a lot of attention (use -DBATCH to skip config steps) and when you're done, the packages have all been updated and fixed. Doing a general port verifier is a pain because the scripts called from make install can run arbitrary programs. R's, John
