So doing something like >Why not (in both cases)?As i posted in the original message - the main question i was asking - both of these are broken in some way. Reposting: --- For example if i try to run "portversion" i get: undefined method `each' for nil:NilClass /usr/local/sbin/portversion:239: [BUG] Bus Error from Ruby (ruby 1.8.5 is up to date on the system). If i try to run "pkg_info" I quickly get: pkg_info: read_plist: bad command '@conflicts apache+ipv6-1.*' (i googled for similar problems and there were a few other reports of this, with other packages, but no suggestion of how to fix them.) --- I manually updated Ruby and portupgrade (by updating my ports tree and going into their /usr/ports directories and doing make install) with no change. This is what i am trying to solve. Thanks. Jen --------------------------------- Get your own web address for just $1.99/1st yr. We'll help. Yahoo! Small Business.
