It is a little confusing because the output is carping about the candidate being ambiguous -not what version the candidate should be updated to. Anyways, it still gives me: Cannot find updates for unarj-2.43 unrar-3.54p0 I installed both by ports (using an old install script for automating some stuff; I guess back then these two did not exist as packages). Strangely, pkg_info shows unarj but not unrar. Any comments? Peter
