As someone else already pointed out, the -r option can only take one port, so if the glob matches more than one it won't work. Specifying the specific installed port from the directory in /var/db/pkg is the way to go. hope this helps, Doug _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
