I don't doubt that, but portupgrade itself tossed out the instruction to me to run pkgdb -F, to fix something (I don't know what). I didn't just want to run something which has such a confusing man page. I ran it under instructions, and now it's asking me questions which I can't figure out the effects of any of the offered actions will be. Everyone seems to want to toss me hazy hints instead of what those options actually accomplish; I'm beginning to think that the only folks who are answering are the folks who don't really know the answer. > > > - Parv > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFH7msKz62J6PPcoOkRAh1pAKCHnjBpSDD3AGpvAXAlbpd7zGyTPACfdOo1 OEfkUWyRgb9sOq3p4/aCLIU= =+T6d -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
