If you noticed in the portmanager error message: > > > recomend running "pkg_delete -f > > > bsdpan-Net-Z3950-0.47" then manually reinstalling This is probably what you should do, if there is some reason you must use bsdpan to install perl modules let me know and I'll consider making an adjustment to portmanager. Right now I am thinking these perl modules of yours were installed ages ago and things have changed since then. -Mike ps: I'm forwarding this to freebsd questions in case anyone who knows a lot about bsdpan has anything to add.
