Now you can update port manager... cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portmanager && make deinstall && make install Please read http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html so you can learn how to use CVSUP properly; it's an incredibly beneficial tool for updating not only your ports, but your system itself. -Garrett
