Was your machine updated from 9.x to CURRENT? In that case you should really remove _all_ ports and re-install them. That is the only way to get rid of = old junk when switching to a new major version. > Before I start time consuming experiments, I'd like to ask whether > there is a smooth way of migration.

Personally I don't think TeX is a good fit for the ports tree (because of duplication of effort). I installed TeXLive using its own installer long before it was present in the ports tree. Since TeXLive is very complete and self-contained, I don't have other ports that depend on TeX. I am certain t= hat TeXLive has pre-built binaries for FreeBSD 9, but I don't know about CURREN= T. To see which ports require (parts of) teTeX, use `pkg_info -Rx tetex` Roland --=20 R.F.Smith http://rsmith.home.xs4all.nl/ [plain text _non-HTML_ PGP/GnuPG encrypted/signed email much appreciated] pgp: 1A2B 477F 9970 BA3C 2914 B7CE 1277 EFB0 C321 A725 (KeyID: C321A725) --PmA2V3Z32TCmWXqI Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.21 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAlI2A8YACgkQEnfvsMMhpyXEeACfRsaAddx4iT4m4J9bCSHIGcGY 0coAnRfiorGeG3OTf5Htc3RHWHGdhTuF =+OFN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --PmA2V3Z32TCmWXqI--
