Since I usually use portupgrade, I leave that to the program :))

Done.

Yeah, but it's quite confusing. For instance, I upgraded portupgrade and
then did portversion: portversion would not run since there was a stale
dependency for ruby. Well, what do I do? Do I change the dependency to the
oder installed version of ruby and then upgrade ruby? Will that fix the
dependency after an upgrade? Or do I portupgrade ruby first and then rerun
portversion? - I did the second and then portversion did work. But what If
I had done the former?

Ouch - there's alist of at least 1.5mb just for .../local. What can I do
with them? How do I know that they are not in use by a program? Can I
delete them? Or what?
>and think why if any.
Frankly, I cannot imagine what to think. :((
>Check if the installed files have been altered somehow: pkg_info -ga
Yeah, tons of MD%c checksum failures.... Does that mean they have been
overwritten by more recent installations? Are they still good? Can I delete
them?
I don't really understand what would cause this overload of garbage, if
that is what it is... :))
I am happy to learn how to use the pkg_* tools. I never thought about using
them as whatever results I would get, would (and are) pretty meaningless
for me as I have no idea of what to do about them.
Thanks for any help.
