First, you have to update your ports. Do you know how to use 'portsnap'? You
could read the man or do this:
/usr/sbin/portsnap fetch
/usr/sbin/portsnap extract
/usr/sbin/portsnap update
/usr/sbin/pkg_version -vIL=
Actually, I am not sure if you have to run the update command, but it will not
hurt anything to do it. I am assuming that you have never used portsnap
before.
The last command will list everything that needs updating. Update portmanager
first.
cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portmanager
make deinstall
make install && make clean
Then update the whole system:
portmanager -u -f -l -y
That should do it. Obviously, everything is run as root.
One more thing, please do not reply to me directly and CC the list. I am
getting two copies of your posts. I only need one. Thank you!
Ciao!
