To be honest, I can't see how it could be anything else other than something bad with what happened with the cvsup I did last night from cvsup2.uk.FreeBSD.org. Like I said earlier in my post, I run this approx twice weekly, and after each run, I do: portsdb -Uu pkgdb -F /usr/ports make clean This procedure came to an end last night with all these errors. One further thing - about your cvsup target: cvsup.FreeBSD.org. Is this where I could ensure getting the latest ports tree from? Thanks again Adam.
