Hi 

(this belongs on -ports, not -stable, so I've redirected)

The ports tree works but....  CVS will not touch things it didn't create
so if you originally unpacked the tarball'ed ports tree, CVS won't be able
to remove the pkg and patches directories.  If you remove these your ports
will build again.

	cd /usr/ports && rm -rf */*/pkg/ && rm -rf */*/patches/

I believe this is the problem anyway.  If this doesn't work, let us know.

I don't know if this will help - I have ports-all (which gets ports-base)
and had the same problem.
