I noticed a large number of GNOME ports in my output from pkg_version and, found that I would need to run the GNOME Project 's upgrade script to upgrade to 2.12. I use a dial-up modem had been timed out on several occasions.during the process This happened about three times during the night and I had to restart the upgrade each time. Note that I failed to use the restart flag recommended during the first restart. I finally ended up with a "succesful upgrade..." message even though I now have only 188 ports after beginning with 297. Amongst the missing is gnome 2.12 itself. I'm hoping there is some way to get things back to normal and rerun the upgrade without re-installing the missing ports. BTW, I did back up /var/db/pkg. Any advice would be appreciated. I run 5.4 -RELEASE #0. I'm running this message from a second machine but should be able to supply the logs if needed. Thanks, Bob Perry
