The only wierd thing I see is right here: > Stale dependency: Xaw3d-1.5E_1 -> libXv-1.0.3,1 (x11/libXv): > libXft-2.1.7_1 (score:22%) ? ([y]es/[n]o/[a]ll) [no] > Install stale dependency? ([y]es/[n]o/[a]ll) [yes] n > ---> Installing 'libXv-1.0.3,1' from a port (x11/libXv) > ---> Building '/usr/ports/x11/libXv' Where it starts installing the port even though you told it not to. That's a pkgdb issue, and the right person to talk to is the portupgrade maintainer, sem@FreeBSD.org. For the rest of it - you've apperently got x.org 6.9 installed on the system and x.org 7.0 in the ports tree. So once it starts installing ports, it's pretty much going to install the entire xorg ports set. Since they install in different prefixes (7.0 moved to /usr/local), that will actually work. I didn't see anything but client stuff in the output. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent Network/Unix/Perforce consultant, email for more information.
