Probably it's just that someone need to patch it to change "sysutils/portmanager" to "ports-mgmt/portmanager" in the source. As a workaround try linking portmanager's new port directory to where its old one was. As there will be a MOVED entry it's probably best to use it with the new origin, but make sure portmanager is up-to-date before running it on multiple ports, it wont be able to detect a self-update, and it doesn't like to do that as part of a general ports' update. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
