A harsh way to clean it up would be: pkg_delete linux_base-6.1_1 pkg_delete linux_base-7.1 This can cause a lot of warnings since it is likely that files of both packages are overlapping. Then, install linux_base again (which gives version 7.1). If you have other programs depending on linux_base, you would have to force deinstallation with -f. Fixing your ports database afterwards using pkgdb from the sysutils/portupgrade port is recommended. Karel.
