You shouldn't have 2.5 installed at all. It should be upgraded to 2.6 and changes propagated to all dependent ports, see /usr/ports/UPDATE entry from 20090608. I've 99 ports depending on python 2.6, and my update was quite smooth, IIRC. > 1) How do I find or set PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION ? > 2) What workaround would be needed in make.conf to get 2.5-hardwired ports > to use 2.6 instead ? I never had to mess with this, and I don't think it is a good idea. What I would probably do in your situation, is delete python2.5 forcefully, reinstall python2.6, and then reinstall any port which complains. -- Anton Shterenlikht Room 2.6, Queen's Building Mech Eng Dept Bristol University University Walk, Bristol BS8 1TR, UK Tel: +44 (0)117 928 8233 Fax: +44 (0)117 929 4423
