For those that are curious - what happened was the night before, I
installed a new port, but needed to change $PREFIX to a user's home area
to set the port up in that particular spot. As expected, that went
uneventfully. The next morning, I decided to do a portupgrade - and
promptly went about cvsupping my ports, bla bla, and then doing a
portupgrage -arR. However - I never unset the $PREFIX variable, so each
port was being removed from the main system area, then the new port was
being installed in a users' home area. Bash was one of the first to be
done, which explains the login errors (/usr/local/bin/bash was removed
from /etc/shells, and it was replaced with
/home/username/usr/local....bash, so my shell in the passwd file no
longer was in /etc/shells file). The portupgrade continued until some
point when it basically killed itself off.
I'm now recovering pieces of the installed packages.
