Subject:   X11 dependency in ports collection following X11 install with sysinstall

3.2-RELEASE

Instructions to reproduce:

1) install FreeBSD 3.2 sans X11
2) reboot, now install X11 distribution using /stand/sysinstall
3) Now attempt to build something depending on X11 (say, tk81)

The dependency check on X11 will fail because sysinstall did not run
ldconfig to pick up library changes.  The result is that the port will
attempt to compile and install X11.  Most packages automatically rerun
ldconfig when they install; perhaps distributions should do the same?

Thanks,
