Hi Mel,

In /usr/ports/ i deleted everything.

Then I ran a portsnap fetch
and then portsnap extract and portsnap update.

But I still get Missing pkg-descr for dtach-0.8.

my shasum on /usr/ports/devel/patch/pkg-descr is the same as yours....

How can I completely wipe out the ports and start over?

Regards,
Coert
