The error continues: Stop in /usr/ports/textproc/linux-expat. ** Command failed [exitcode 1]: /usr/bin/script -qa /tmp/portupgrade80885.59 make reinstall egrep: /var/db/pkg/linux-expat-1.95.5_2/+CONTENTS: No such file or directory ---> Restoring the old version ** Fix the installation problem and try again. Tried to deinstall/reinstall linux-expat-1.95.5_3 but received same error. When I ran portupgrade -arR again, I received a Stale dependency error recommending I manually run pkgdb -F to fix, or specify -O to force. I run pkgdb -F and each package which had been skipped earlier in the upgrade due to the original error now appear in Stale dependency scripts asking if I want to replace linux-expat-1.95.5_2. The "score" in the first stale dependency issue is only 31%. Nothing confuses me more than dealing with stale dependencies so I tried reviewing mail archives and googling for an answer. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can resolve this error? FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE #0. Thanks
