Roman> Alternatively, look for HOLD_PKGS in /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf Roman> [...] I think I've solved this: o I deleted all packages depending on X11. o Then a manually compiled XFree-4.4.0 from the sources and installed it. o I faked the installed XFree-4.3.0 ports to be 4.4.0 (replacing strings in /var/db/pkg/XF*/+CONTENTS, plus the one of imake and dri ports). After running pkgdb -uF the package database was in consistent state again (at least I believe... ;-). o Now I'm able to portinstall anything and it's being compiled against the correct libs. Background behind this is: The libc_r/ libthread nightmare. Some libraries (such as /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so) used to depend on libc_r in the default XFree-4.4.0 distributed precompiled binaries. After installing some ports binaries were getting linked against libthread.so. If any binary that uses libthread.so also uses e.g. libGL.so it could not be started. After compiling XFree-4.4.0 manually from the sources on FreeBSD-5.2-current this stuff now uses libthread.so (I had to fix a Makefile entry to enforce this). So installing ports now does not complain about any conflicting thread libraries.
