I'd tried removing the entire ports tree and downloading it again, but still no luck (that means, the entire tree was intact). I'm using 4.7-release. The ports tree I used is ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.7/ports.tar.gz I did not update the cvs tree. Should I, if I'm running -release? I'd rather not run "-current" on this machine - it's a rather critical server, and, from what I've read, -current might not be SO stable. (acording to faq5)
