When was the last time you did a cvsup? Portupgrade was hosed for a few days there, if your ports tree previously installed the hosted version, portupgrade won't work. If this is the case, the solution is: 1) cvsup ports 2) pkg_delete portupgrade 3) cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade && make install clean Portupgrade will then start working again. i always do a cvsup before upgrading the ports but i got the same problem,
pkg_delete did not work coz it can't see the portupgrade version that is installed so i did a make deinstall and make reinstall instead but with the same result, any idea how will i solve this?
