=46irst, you have to update your ports. Do you know how to use 'portsnap'? =
You=20
could read the man or do this:

	/usr/sbin/portsnap fetch
	/usr/sbin/portsnap extract
	/usr/sbin/portsnap update
	/usr/sbin/pkg_version -vIL=3D

Actually, I am not sure if you have to run the update command, but it will =
not=20
hurt anything to do it. I am assuming that you have never used portsnap=20
before.

The last command will list everything that needs updating. Update portmanag=
er=20
first.
	cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portmanager
	make deinstall
	make install && make clean

Then update the whole system:

	portmanager -u -f -l -y

That should do it. Obviously, everything is run as root.

One more thing, please do not reply to me directly and CC the list. I am=20
getting two copies of your posts. I only need one. Thank you!

Ciao!
