I'm currently upgrading my system over
SSHAnd it asked me to upgrade to a new version of
ports.conf, I choose the option to compare the two differences..How do I get back out of this without cancelling the upgrade?

John Smith about 4 yearsDoesn't work. Tried Q, q, ctrl-Q, ctrl-q. It responds to the up and down arrows, and shows an <ok> as if it's a button, but nothing lets me exits that screen.

Yevgeniy Afanasyev about 5 yearsUpper case is a solution. -
John Smith about 4 yearsNot for me. Neither upper nor lower case Q do anything at all.

IndexOutOfBoundsException about 4 years@JohnSmith I had the same problem, that no key made me quit that comparison mode. I tried it multiple times, also with "Command" + "Shift" + "Q", but nothing happened. Finally, I tried simply a (lowercase) "q" again and it worked. I could not tell you more about it unfortunately but it seems that one can solve it just by trying the same combination multiple times (perhaps after having triggered something else unconsciously by so doing).
