For example, cd /var/db/pkg/perl-5.8.4/ touch +IGNOREME > Add 'lang/perl*', as a held package in /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf to > no avail. The -f option to portupgrade overrides held packages and reinstalls them anyway. Another possibility that may be useful to you is the -x option to portupgrade to exclude certain ports from this run only. i.e. portupgrade -Raf -x perl Multiple -x options can be specified if you have a long list of ports that you don't want to reinstall. Hope this helps, Craig
