When was the last time you did a cvsup? Portupgrade was hosed for a few days there, if your ports tree previously installed the hosted version, portupgrade won't work. If this is the case, the solution is: 1) cvsup ports 2) pkg_delete portupgrade 3) cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade && make install clean Portupgrade will then start working again. -- Bill Moran Sometimes I think I'm stupid. The rest of the time I'm sure of it.
