It enabled me to resolve the conflict when I ran pkgdb -F by just entering the new location of the port in the database. *However* the big problem seems to be (at least for me) that there *is no* ruby-uri in the ports tree. I'm baffled, because when I went to /usr/ports and ran 'make search key="ruby-uri"' it came back with a list of ports that depend on it *and* a listing for it as /usr/ports/net/ruby-uri -- and THERE IS NO such directory. So I cvsup'ed my ports and there still isn't any /usr/ports/net/ruby-uri there. So what's the next step? If it's been removed from the ports tree, what do I do about all the dependencies? -- Roger You're only young once, but you can be immature forever!
