I have had luck switching from a pkg to a port by doing the following within the port you are upgrading. make deinstall make clean make reinstall Then portupgrade will work with the port fine. There is the possibility that you may need to remove the pkg using pkg delete and then do a fresh install from ports. X is big, I have not used X in years as all my systems are servers, I generally use only ports if I don't install from source. Someone with more experience than me might have a better answer. Of course, if you follow my advice blindly your system may explode, or worse ;^) DAve PS, Denise says HOWDY! -- In 50 years, our descendants will look back on the early years of the internet, and much like we now look back on men with rockets on their back and feathers glued to their arms, marvel that we had the intelligence to wipe the drool from our chins.
