Apparently ghostscript9 conflicts with ghostscript8-8.71_6, which presumably is the reason for the failure. Could someone help me resolve this? The obvious solution of pkg_delete ghostscript8-8.71_6 doesn't work, because too many installed ports depend on ghostscript8-8.71_6. Thanks in advance, Scott -- sdb@ssr.com
