That did not clear out all of /usr/local. You can do a manual cleanup of /usr/local, entirely removing it and then reconstructing its structure from the /etc/mtree file. # cd /usr/local # rm -rf * # mtree -f /etc/mtree/BSD.local.dist # mtree -f /etc/mtree/BSD.x11.dist (Not tested, see the manpage for reference.) That should give you a clean environment for a full re-installation. Also note that /var/db/pkg could be manually deleted in this case. > When pkg_add of perl > failed, I just built that. pkg_add of xorg worked. pkg_add of xdm got an error > something along the line of unliking lib/X11/auth... so I deleted that dir and > did pkg_add again.

Seems that there are complications with leftover stuff in /usr/local. > monhegan:~> uname -a > FreeBSD monhegan.boltsys.com 9.0-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE-p3 #0: > Tue Jun 12 01:47:53 UTC 2012 > root@i386-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 > > But make index thinks (I think) this is an 8.x system. pkg_add did add from > ...lastest..9.0 for xorg and xdm. AFAIK there are no 8.x components. You could install the ports tree from a 9.0 installation media or simply use CVS to obtain (or at least update) it. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
