So don't use portupgrade if doesn't do what is needed. The simple solution is to *first* deinstall *all* ports (or at least all ports that depend, directly or indirectly, on jpeg in this case) and then reinstall them all. This might require a bit more manual intervention than using portupgrade would have, but on the other hand it is almost guaranteed to work correctly every time. The problems you are running into is essentially due to trying to build updated binaries while still having old binaries installed (and having this trigger bugs in the build mechanism of various ports.) If you first remove all the old binaries and then build new ones you avoid many potential problems. -- <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se
