Will try that.  However...
I've installed a huge amount of stuff from packages, and no package
exists for either fusefs-exfat or exfat-utils.  If I try to build
from ports, I run into a conflict with perl5:

===>  Patching for fusefs-exfat-1.2.8
===>  Applying FreeBSD patches for fusefs-exfat-1.2.8
===>   fusefs-exfat-1.2.8 depends on package: autoconf>=2.69 - not found
===>  autoconf-2.69_2 Invalid perl5 version 5.30.

Is there a way around this other than building everything from ports?
except for distfiles, all the directories in my ports tree are 2019-07-04.
I *thought* they would be compatible with the installed os and packages.
