Look for duplicate versions ports.  You will need to use:
pkg_delete -f [port name]

to remove all of these ports that have duplicates, then reinstall that port.

Once you have only one version of the ported applications run portmanager to be sure you have them and their dependencies all current.

Hi;
This is becoming the project from hell! It started with an upgrade from 5.3. That *seemed* to go well except for the upgrade of ports. When I went to use portmanager, it went into an infinite loop. Someone on this list said that was because it was an old version of portmanager (0.2.0_1) and that was a known bug with the same. He counseled me to DELETE everything in /usr/ports and start over, which I did:

fetch ftp://ftp1.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/ports-current/ports.tar.gz -c /root -f ports.tar.gz && tar -xvzpf /root/ports.tar.gz -C /usr/

However, in running "make install", I've fallen into yet another &*(%$%*) infinite loop! See below. I don't know if it did that on "make", it went many hours and I just decided to let it run overnight and deal with it in the morning. HELP! Get me OUT of these inifinte loops! Help me just install the freaking ports, for goodness sakes!! HELP!!!!
