The command shown in UPDATING is wrong. The correct command is: pkg_delete -xf portmaster -x does name globbing internally to pkg_delete, and should be used over any shell globbing (like *). However, a more correct/safe command to use would be: pkg_delete -xif portmaster -x to pick up all versions of portmaster listed in /var/db/pkg/ -i to ask the user to confirm each version to be deleted -f to force the delete, even if other apps depend on it -- Freddie Cash fjwcash@gmail.com
