I've installed a huge amount of stuff from packages, and no package exists for either fusefs-exfat or exfat-utils. If I try to build from ports, I run into a conflict with perl5: ===> Patching for fusefs-exfat-1.2.8 ===> Applying FreeBSD patches for fusefs-exfat-1.2.8 ===> fusefs-exfat-1.2.8 depends on package: autoconf>=2.69 - not found ===> autoconf-2.69_2 Invalid perl5 version 5.30. Is there a way around this other than building everything from ports? except for distfiles, all the directories in my ports tree are 2019-07-04. I *thought* they would be compatible with the installed os and packages. FreeBSD breakaway.dreamchaser.org 11.3-RELEASE-p6 Gary
