Do you know how to use 'portsnap'? You could read the man or do this: /usr/sbin/portsnap fetch /usr/sbin/portsnap extract /usr/sbin/portsnap update /usr/sbin/pkg_version -vIL= Actually, I am not sure if you have to run the update command, but it will not hurt anything to do it. I am assuming that you have never used portsnap before. The last command will list everything that needs updating. Update portmanager 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 getting two copies of your posts. I only need one. Thank you!
