Personally, I wouldn't ever try to get something to try and upgrade itself.
There is a point in the process where the script that does the installing is
going to not be there.
Assuming you don't have Ruby installed for any other specific purpose, here's
a somewhat cleaner way to do this. Don't just type the following without
FULLY considering what this will do. This is what I do, and that's the end
of that disclamier...
pkg_delete -rf ruby* <- [Deletes ALL of ruby, and anything that depended
on it.]
[Now do a nice, normal port install]
cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade/
make install clean
[Once that's finished, you'll need to force an update to pkgdb]
pkgdb -fu
And that's it. Mind you, the safer way to do this would be to only uninstall
the Ruby components that actually require updating.
Good luck with it!
