Worst case is to delete the existing /usr/ports and extract a clean set. Another option is partial extraction - portsnap extract lang/php5-extensions will extract just the one port portsnap extract lang/php5 will match all lang ports starting with php5 portsnap extract lang will extract all the lang ports I think that you will find your issue comes from the fact that all the php4 ports have been deleted - you seem to have some old folders left behind. Could be from extracting over an existing cvs checkout. Maybe you want a clean start. If you still have php4 installed then you should be able to use portmaster -o lang/php5-extensions lang/php4-extensions to get it to update with the new version find /usr/ports -type d -and -name "php4*" | xargs rm -R will delete any remaining php4 folders find /usr/ports -name "CVS" | xargs rm -R will remove all the cvs garbage left behind.
