Thanks for the response Robert, but unfortunately, pkg_info returns no
errors.
Mark,
I thought I was the only one with these symptoms. Very much
like the ones you describe, and pkg_info is no help. Similarly
with the other build/upgrade/fixit tools. After several weeks '
of this, I've come to the conclusion that the upgrade side of
things is very busted. (****)
Maybe you guys should stop use portmanager. I personal don't trust it.
Cheers,
Mezz
cheers!

Mark
