I'm in the same situation, with several headless servers with no X running =
but xorg-libraries installed as a dependency.
I tried running portupgrade -ai on one server. It failed.
I ran pkgdb -L and fixed a tons of dependencies by installing the new xorg =
7.2 ports. Then I ran portupgrade -ai again. This time it upgraded=20
xorg-libraries from 6.9 to 7.2, and the only failures were related to php4 =
(which was held up by the port freeze and needs a security update, which=20
should be released shortly.)
I'm not sure what to do next. I put X11BASE=3D${LOCALBASE} in=20
/etc/make.conf, and I ran mergebase.sh. Is there anything else that I=20
need to do?
