Anyone know whats happening here? What's happening is you horribly broke your ports tree. Put the tag back to ".", cvsup again, and then do what the message is telling you. Go to http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/ and grab the latest upgrade kit. Once you have it, install it with pkg_add. - jim -- jim mock <jim@jmock.com> work: jim@osd.bsdi.com | jim@FreeBSD.org http://soupnazi.org/ BSDi Open Source Div | http://bsdi.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
