No, those files are in *other* ports, not yours. I.e. - imake-4.0.3 and XFree86-libraries-4.0.3_1 don't know they are required by rxvt. This typically happens if you force a pkg_delete even if the package is required. You do that when you upgrade a port that has dependencies and upgrading won't break them. It's not a real problem. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
