It could be that I had a case of bad luck. About an hour before the documentation was put into /usr/ports/UPDATING, I noticed that portmaster was not working and 'make deinstall' and 'make reinstall' and ticked 'pkgng'. Then portmaster seemed to work alright. Then when the UPDATING entry 20121010 happened shortly after, I followed it exactly- so yes I ran pkg2ng. Somehow my installation has both portmaster-3.14 *and* portmaster-3.14_7 installed. Perhaps my portmaster upgrade prior to following the UPDATING entry 20121010 broke something. I can guess that my database is messed up. Thanks for your reply, Darrel
