If we pull up the page on CVSWeb: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/sysutils/ltrace/Attic/Makefile We find: 2011-08-08 sysutils/ltrace: Has expired: Looks like an abandonware, no more public distfiles (or, you could take a look in ports/MOVED, which has the same info) For CVS, you could note the date on that page, and then subtract a bit from the commit date, and then do: cd /usr; cvs co -D 20110731 ports/sysutils/ltrace You would have to modify that if your ports are not in /usr/ports, of course. If you were not using cvs to get your ports, well, AFAIK you'll have to do some manual operations, e.g., for each file in: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/sysutils/ltrace/Attic/ click on filename, go to previous revision, click download ... ... at least, for the files that existed at removal time. (e.g. pkg_comment and pkg_plist were removed years ago, and are thus were no longer needed even before the port was removed.) mcl
