I got no responses when I posted this a few days ago, so I'm reposting
it now. I'd really like to finish the perl upgrade process, so I could move
on to installing/updating other ports safely, but could use some advice.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Following the instructions in /usr/ports/UPDATING for upgrading from
lang/perl5.8 to lang/perl5.10 using portmaster, the first part seems to go
well. The last line of that process is where the excerpt below begins.
The second step, as you will see, fails with the error message shown.
/usr/ports/UPDATING neglects to mention what to do next, and the process
looks incomplete at this point. If someone could offer instructions for
completing the process, I would be grateful.
===>>> Upgrade of perl-5.8.9_2 to perl-threaded-5.10.0_3 complete
hellas# nice +18 portmaster -v -r perl\*
===>>> No ORIGIN in /var/db/pkg/perl-threaded-5.10.0_3/+CONTENTS:@comment ORIGIN:lang/perl5.10 /var/db/pkg/perltidy-20071205/+CONTENTS:@comment ORIGIN:devel/perltidy/+CONTENTS

Please copy me in on any responses. I'm subscribed to the digest form
of this list, so responses sent only to the list may take up to a day to be
sent to me as part of the digest.
Thanks in advance for any assistance in proceeding with the perl upgrade.
