Hi,
I have a few problems with portupgrade, some ports fail with error above:
[root@FBSD70VM ~]# portupgrade -fPP snort-2.7.0.1_1 postfix-2.4.6,1
apache-2.0.63
** Listing the failed packages (-:ignored / *:skipped / !:failed)
! www/apache20 (apache-2.0.63) (Argument must be String class
object.)
! security/snort (snort-2.7.0.1_1) (Argument must be String
class object.)
! mail/postfix (postfix-2.4.6,1) (Argument must be String
class object.)
[root@FBSD70VM ~]#
The package itself is fine:
[root@FBSD70VM ~]# rm /usr/ports/packages/All/apache-2.0.63.tbz
[root@FBSD70VM ~]# pkg_delete -f apache-2.0.63
pkg_delete: package 'apache-2.0.63' is required by these other packages
and may not be deinstalled (but I'll delete it anyway):
[...]
pkg_delete: unable to completely remove directory
'/usr/local/www/icons-dist'
pkg_delete: unable to completely remove directory '/usr/local/www/data-dist'
pkg_delete: unable to completely remove directory
'/usr/local/www/cgi-bin-dist'
===> If you plan to do not reinstall apache2, you can safely remove
/usr/local/etc/apache2.
pkg_delete: couldn't entirely delete package (perhaps the packing list is
incorrectly specified?)

This happens with 6.3 and 7.0. Any ideas?
Thanks, Helmut
