Thanks for the prompt response.  I ran make clean in and then make
install clean /usr/ports/audio/arts and it failed with:

===>  Installing for jackit-0.100.0_2
===>   jackit-0.100.0_2 depends on executable: pkg-config - found

      You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again
      by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly.
      If you really wish to overwrite the old port of audio/jack
      without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER"
      in your environment or the "make install" command line.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/audio/jack.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/audio/arts.

I then went and ran make clean for /usr/ports/audio/jack and
/usr/ports/audio/arts and tried to install arts again with make install
clean.  It failed with the same error as above.I then tried to run make
deinstall in /usr/ports/audio/arts and was returned:

===>  Deinstalling for audio/arts
pkg_info: the package info for package 'arts-1.5.1_1,1' is corrupt
pkg_info: the package info for package 'jackit-0.100.0_2' is corrupt
===>   arts not installed, skipping

I tried to deinstall jack as well, just to be funny, and was returned:

===>  Deinstalling for audio/jack
pkg_info: the package info for package 'arts-1.5.1_1,1' is corrupt
pkg_info: the package info for package 'jackit-0.100.0_2' is corrupt
===>   jackit not installed, skipping
===>  Returning to user credentials

Any suggestions?  If this helps, I upgrade ports by running portupgrade
-varRPP and if no packages exist I run portupgrade -varR.  I install
ports by running make install clean.  I also run portsclean -C and
portsclean -DD on a regular basis.  Shouldn't this keep things "clean"?
 If I am doing something wrong that has led me to these corrupt
packages, please correct me.  Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
