This is what I did: mv /usr/ports/INDEX-6.db --> INDEX-6.db.org mv /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db --> pkgdb.db.org pkg_delete portupgrade-2.1.3.1,2 pkg_delete ruby18-bdb-0.5.9 pkg_delete ruby18-bdb1-0.2.2 pkg_delete db4-4.0.14_1,1 pkg_delete db41-4.1.25_3 pkg_delete db42-4.2.52_4 I left db43-4.3.29, It would be needed later and reomoving it would cause too many other things to have to be rebuilt (or I get a bite in the ass if I don't). cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade make conf ----- select bdb4, it'll use db43 as that's what's installed make package-recursive pkgdb -F fix the dependencies portversion -v |grep needs rebuilds portsdb (and rechecks pkgdb.db) and I find out what ports need upgrading. By the way, I don't use cvsup to upgrade the ports tree. I use portsnap. It's way faster than cvsup. When I used cvsup it could take up to 1/2 hr (depending on the computer speed) to get to the point of upgrading ports. Using portsnap, it only takes a couple of minutes to get to it. Don
