This was a fresh install of 7 from a couple of months ago when it
was -current. I have been updating

src, ports, or both?

It was a clean install. I backed up my data and did a new install from
a snapshot iso. I reinstalled all 3rd party software from ports.


at least weekly since then. I csup'd and did the buildworld/kernel
thing this past Friday. At that time I change from the generic
kernel to a generic using -ULE.

Assuming that you're now tracking RELENG_7, and assuming that you
installed the new kernel and world, did you clean out all the old
libraries and includes from before the branch?

This isn't really relevant to your question, but I'd like to point
out that I think people are using the -u flag a lot more than they
really need to. Under normal circumstances once you're past the 'make
config' stage and the ports start actually compiling there won't be
any interaction required. In fact, now that the OPTIONS framework is
fixed if you already have options files for the ports you have
installed, and those options haven't changed, you won't even get
those screens to deal with.

system would freeze at "Creating a backup package for old version
pkg-glob". Where pkg-glob is whatever was being updated at the time
of course.

What happens if you just run 'pkg_create -b <portname
from /var/db/pkg>'? I strongly suspect that this is a problem with
your pkg_create binary, since that's all portmaster is doing in that
spot. If the pkg_create command failed then you would see an error
message and portmaster would exit.

Okay, I just did that from my /root directory and it worked.

hth,

Thank you for responding. Does this mean that I alone am experiencing
this problem?

One other thing, I replaced my video card last week with an NVIDIA
card. I installed the nvidia port which brought in linux ports and
compat5x. Could this have messed up my libraries?
