This time, I am getting errors on the portmaster -Faf step involving deleted ports, and I'm not sure how to deal with this easily. If the ports aren't in use, I have just deleted them, but for other things, such as libgsf-1.14.21_1, which is required by a dozen or more of my installed packages, it is not so easy. So, I am seeking expert advice here. Is there a way to automate this and keep myself out of trouble, or do I need to do a 'port-by-port' upgrade of each port? Thanks! Scott -- sdb@ssr.com
