Hi, Eitan.
It could be that I had a case of bad luck. About an hour before the
documentation was put into /usr/ports/UPDATING, I noticed that portmaster
was not working and 'make deinstall' and 'make reinstall' and ticked
'pkgng'. Then portmaster seemed to work alright.
Then when the UPDATING entry 20121010 happened shortly after, I followed
it exactly- so yes I ran pkg2ng. Somehow my installation has both
portmaster-3.14 *and* portmaster-3.14_7 installed. Perhaps my portmaster
upgrade prior to following the UPDATING entry 20121010 broke something.
I can guess that my database is messed up.
Thanks for your reply,
Darrel
