Yes, seems you need to rebuild ruby, for safety I also rebuilt ruby-bdb and portupgrade. I then moved /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db and ran pkgdb -fu. Then it was safe to run portupgrade. This is probably overkill, but it worked for me. Jim ---------- In Response to your message ------------- > Date: Sat, 10 Nov 2007 10:24:14 +1100 > To: "J. W.
