First, I deleted portupgrade. Ran into what seemed like a syntax error, butSorry for being so thick, but I get more than just nervous when using
the delete
command. Do I understand you correctly in that I delete, as in rm,
the portupgrade
files in /usr/ports/sysutils/ directory and also all of the ruby
files in the /usr/ports/
lang/ directory?
No, you can
pkg_delete portupgrade pkg_delete 'ruby*' cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade make install
You can see options in the commit message at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/lang/ruby18/Makefile
The pkg_delete of ruby* and portupgrade was the only thing that worked for me. There is a now ruby16 and a ruby18. Portupgrade now uses ruby18.

eventually deleted the port. Note the following:
==>[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/ports> pkg_delete portupgrade pkg_delete: no such package 'portupgrade' installed ==>[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/ports> pkg_delete portupgrade-\*
Next, I deleted all ruby files, with some familiar messages following.
==>[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/ports> pkg_delete 'ruby*'
pkg_delete: unable to completely remove directory '/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6/i386-freebsd4'
pkg_delete: unable to completely remove directory '/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6'
pkg_delete: couldn't entirely delete package (perhaps the packing list is
incorrectly specified?)
pkg_delete: file '/usr/local/bin/erb' doesn't really exist
pkg_delete: file '/usr/local/bin/h2rb' doesn't really exist
pkg_delete: file '/usr/local/bin/rdoc' doesn't really exist
pkg_delete: couldn't entirely delete package (perhaps the packing list is
incorrectly specified?)
Reinstalled portupgrade.
==>[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/ports> cd sysutils/portupgrade/
==>[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade> make install

Had to run make clean before it would run successfully.
Didn't run steps 2-4 of the options in the commit segment since I deleted all
of the ruby files at the beginning. Hope no problems result.
Just ran portupgrade again to complete what I had started this morning and it ran successfully.
I was aware of similar problems others had encountered due to the change in
the default version of ruby and read the commit in Fresh Ports. It just didn't
register. I saw the phrase, "If you are a ruby developer...", and ignored the rest.
My bad.
Thanks so much for your time and assistance.
