Try
rm -r /usr/ports
then
sysinstall
Follow options:
=Configure (do post install configuration of FreeBSD) ->
=Distributions (Install additional distribution sets) ->
=Ports (The FreeBSD Ports Collection) (Enter) *
=CD/DVD (Install from a FreeBSD CD/DVD) *
Should get the whole ports shebang back down to 5.2 CD Dist
standards.
You'll then need to reinstate the index as it was then...
cd /usr/ports
portsdb -Uu
To get rid of every package you have installed currently, try
pkg_delete *
which should de-install every package you've got, and then
rebuild everything you need, starting
cd /usr/ports/net/cvsup/
make install clean
to build cvsup.
I assume you've already configured the example script from
/usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile so we'll skip directly
into
cvsup -g /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile
cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade
make install clean
portinstall (any port you like)
I'd recommend you try and fix whatever it is that's gone wrong
with k3b though.
It'll take far less time.
