Turns out I cannot upgradepkg over the top of these. The install scripts don't know what to do with installed files that are empty. Apparently the pkg management system doesn't see a problem. <div><br></div><div>Anyone experience this before?</div><div><br></div><div>Tia,</div><div>Dave<br><br>On Monday, October 6, 2014, David S Jackson <<a href="mailto:deepbsd.ale@gmail.com">deepbsd.ale@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Okay, well what I wound up doing was something like<br>

I did a grep empty $HOME/OUTPUT | wc -l<br>

and found 69 files that were bad.<br>

I'm surprised that it was "only" 69 that didn't make it. But at least I<br>

There's probably a slicker way to do this, and I'm all ears if so. But<br>
this is the first thing I thought of that might work. So thanks much<br>
anyway!<br>
