Thank you. There is one thing that I am not sure of. I read again an article in FreeBSD Diary http://www.freebsddiary.org/portupgrade.php and it said that if I force it to pkg_delete a certain package that other packages depend on, there might be problems of broken dependencies. I tried the way you teach me first then read the article and then I decided to first uninstall them all and do the portupgrade -N again from the begining. After the whole installation process, pkg_version shows me that every packages installed are consistent to the port tree. ( and it is good to me ) Thank you again for your help. Michael Lee
