You are in a situation I have never faced. I have done a
portupgrade -pufa
before. I have also seen people use something like -rRa. What will work
depends on what you have installed, what you have messed up using pkgdb -F,
and what you will put up with while it is upgrading. On my AMD 2400+ XP, a
full upgrade of my ports takes a long time.

When the default went to XFree86-4, I deleted all of the packages and did meta
port builds and installs of XFree86 and KDE. The build machine spent most of
the whole day doing this. Topaz, which is the machine I am typing this on,
wasn't affected until ruby finished building everything. I ftped all of the
packages from /usr/ports/packages/All, deleted what I had installed on topaz,
and did meta-port pkg_add from the ../All directory on topaz. Topaz wasn't
down very long.

FWIW, I don't believe in building cvsup. It is one port that I use the
package. The modula library requires too much computer time to build and
isn't needed by any other port.

You never want to mix the two. If something goes wrong, you don't have any
idea what broke it. Did you upgrade to 4.9-release?

If you have finished upgrading to 4.9, I don't think it is part of the problem
right now. You just have to catch your ports up to what is current and a full
portupgrade might work. I think I would include the "f" option to force the
builds.

Your ports include libraries from the system and you want to upgrade these to
4.9 anyway and a full upgrade would do that. You may just have to build a few
manually. I always use "portupgrade -puf port" because I will use the package
on my other systems.

If your port structure is equivalent to 4.9-release, you could update much
faster using ftp to grab packages from freebsd.org. It all depends on your
network connection speed. The last time I looked at packages/All on my
freebsd.org mirror, they were all dated 11 November. Man portupgrade talks
about using "portupgrade -aPPR" to do a massive network binary upgrade. You
need some feedback from someone who has done this. I run 4.9-stable and it
can never find a package for -stable and fetches the distfiles and builds the
port.

What ever you do, upgrade portupgrade and its dependancies first. The current
version will fix most bad situations that you would have had to delete
packages and re-add them before. You may still have to do that because you
have a corrupted setup.
