This past weekend, I CVSup'd the ports tree and prepared to run
portupgrade. I noticed a large number of GNOME ports in my output from
pkg_version and, found that I would need to run the GNOME Project 's
upgrade script to upgrade to 2.12.
I use a dial-up modem had been timed out on several occasions.during the
process This happened about three times during the night and I had to
restart the upgrade each time. Note that I failed to use the restart
flag recommended during the first restart. I finally ended up with a
"succesful upgrade..." message even though I now have only 188 ports
after beginning with 297. Amongst the missing is gnome 2.12 itself.
I'm hoping there is some way to get things back to normal and rerun the
upgrade without re-installing the missing ports. BTW, I did back up
/var/db/pkg.
Any advice would be appreciated. I run 5.4 -RELEASE #0. I'm running
this message from a second machine but should be able to supply the logs
if needed.
Thanks,
Bob Perry
