It looks like the 2.6.23 files were built when the OS was installed from the timestamps on the files I'm running some scripts to find all the offending files, checked the list and then removed them. I've also dug up some 2.7.2 files that seem to be linked to Apache so a full house clean, reinstall the port and now libxslt will build and upgrade. Many thanks. Colin.
