Well, if you install portupgrade from the ports (using 'make install clean'), it is added to the package database. This way, you can later upgrade your portupgrade using 'portupgrade portupgrade', just like any other package. You'll notice that portupgrade is updated every month or so. > Anyway, when I install from ports with portupgrade, I get packages > listed as follows: >=20 > mplayer-gtk-0.90.0.110_1 > succeeds port (port has 0.90.0.110) > portupgrade-20030427 > succeeds port (port has 20030308_2) > ruby-1.6.8.2003.04.19 > succeeds port (port has 1.6.8.2003.01.19) > ruby-bdb1-0.1.9 > succeeds port (port has 0.1.8) > ruby-shim-ruby18-1.8.0.p2.2003.04.19 > succeeds port (port has 1.8.0.p2= ) > I'm sure I am in sync with the port, neverless it says that my installed > packages succeeds the port. Is that a bug in portupgrade package? Perhaps you have multiple installations of these 4 packages. If that was that case, at least one of them IS probably the latest, but there are lingering old versions that pkg_version thinks is outdated. You should run "pkgdb -F" as root to fix and problems of this nature. --=20 Adam <blueeskimo@gmx.net> --=-7OEn/+6GIxZjN8BhwevP Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQA+txgWu3o4GBMSDL4RAi8XAJ416KaLGnqoDPblXBrfRe15MaPWKwCgp8hU mThorl60yF8nftwPUdSU9N4= =8y0G -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-7OEn/+6GIxZjN8BhwevP--
