I'm running FreeBSD 6.3-STABLE with the kernel updated to today. (The rest of the system was last updated two or three weeks ago, IIRC.) The X.org upgrade failure looks like this: hellas # nice +17 portupgrade -Rf libXft && nice +18 portupgrade -aPkO [Rebuilding the pkgdb in /var/db/pkg ... - 588 packages found (-0 +588) ....................................................................................................100....................................................................................................200....................................................................................................300....................................................................................................400....................................................................................................500........................................................................................ done] [Updating the portsdb in /usr/ports ... - 18137 port entries found .........1000.........2000.........3000.........4000.........5000.........6000.........7000.........8000.........9000.........10000.........11000.........12000.........13000.........14000.........15000.........16000.........17000.........18000. ..... done] [Gathering depends for x11-fonts/libXft ....................................... done] [Exclude up-to-date packages ./usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/pkginfo.rb:74:in `initialize': : Not in due form: - (ArgumentError) from /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade:661:in `main' from /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade:659:in `main' from /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade:588:in `main' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/optparse.rb:1320:in `order!' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/optparse.rb:1271:in `order!' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/optparse.rb:1265:in `order' from /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade:565:in `main' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/optparse.rb:815:in `initialize' from /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade:229:in `main' from /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade:2170 If someone could pass me a clue to getting the upgrade going, I'd appreciate it greatly.
