Yesterday I updated OpenOffice and now whenever I run portmaster -Da it reinstalls it for no reason I can see.

Well it doesn't decide to do things for no reason. :) Somehow it believes that there is a newer version. What does 'portmaster -L' say? (Just the part about openoffice)

Apparently my /var/db/pkg had broken entries after I created a couple of packages. Languages that were no longer installed, were still registered.

Yeah, that'd do it. You might try looking at the output of 'portmaster -l' and pick a leaf port that you know you want to delete, and use the expunge option (portmaster -e). This will run the -s option to delete anything else that it can detect is stale for you. Take a look at the man page for more information.

Good luck,

Doug
