I did not think of cvs since I do not use it for this purpose. Thanks for pointing this out! > cd /usr/ports && rm -rf */*/pkg/ && rm -rf */*/patches/ > > I believe this is the problem anyway.

I had ports-all in my ports-supfile and everything was updated properly with cvsup. I saw lots of "Deleted" messages on the day I first cvsupped after the change, but also the basic infrastructure was changed quite a lot in those days, which may be unrelated. Ports work as expected here. -- Regards: Szilveszter ADAM Szeged University Szeged Hungary To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
