Please, show the output from the following commands to start:
head /var/db/pkg/perl-threaded-5.10.0_3/+CONTENTS head /var/db/pkg/perltidy-20071205/+CONTENTS Mine is (no perltidy though): ~> head /var/db/pkg/perl-5.10.0_3/+CONTENTS @comment PKG_FORMAT_REVISION:1.1 @name perl-5.10.0_3 @comment ORIGIN:lang/perl5.10 @cwd /usr/local @conflicts perl-5.6.* @conflicts perl-5.8.* @conflicts perl-threaded-5.8.* man/man1/a2p.1.gz @comment MD5:41051bd143f495e113fa136ac0e9cb6f man/man1/c2ph.1.gz Hmmm... Looking at portmaster sources I've got one idea. Can you try more precise command to upgrade everything depending on perl? nice +18 portmaster -v -r perl-threaded-5.10.0_3 The point is that perl\* wildcard gives you both perl-threaded-XXX and perltidy-XXXX which might be bad idea. If this is the case I think UPDATING entry should be improved to use perl-\* wildcard. > hellas# > > Please copy me in on any responses.
