Some common problems, when upgrading from 4.2 to 4.8 (been there): * cvsup is outof date. Solution: use pkg_add to install the binary version. You'll get protocol mismatch errors otherwise. * many dependencies are obsolete, wrong version or what not. The first package you want to install is portupgrade. This is an excellent tutorial on how to get it up and running __before__ you do anything else: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2001/11/29/Big_Scary_Daemons.html * There's one other package I needed to do binary, via portupgrade -P, in the XFree or KDE3 Family, but I can't remember which and this might already have been fixed. In any case: whenever something does not compile, try portupgrade -P.
