Decided to try portupgrade of XFree 4.0 to 4.2.  I had my reservations
about whether it would work but after reading enough I felt confident.
I think you can guess by my subject line that it didn't work.  I'd
appreciate any suggestions you folks can give on the following
problem.  I've got a script of the full portupgrade session if it
helps.

It all comes down to possibly a broken x11/XFree86-4 port, cause the
same failure that portupgrade saw I saw from the commandline.  I
cvsupped everything just minutes before I tried the upgrade, so I know
my ports tree is current.

the details:

I ran 'portupgrade -NrRv XFree86' and walked away, figuring it would
take a few hours.  The problem was that the first step FAILED, yet
portupgrade continued.  Of course everything after bombed out because
none of the X libs/headers were present.  My original setup was the
single XFree86 port which includes all the required pieces.  I figured
upgrading this meta-port would do the trick.

The failure is that there is a missing MD5 checksum file associated
with the XFree86-4 port.  The log shows this error, but portupgrade
continued.  On the commandline with make, it proceeds while actually
doing nothing.

sjt-bsd /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4 # make
===>  Extracting for XFree86-4.2.0_1,1
>> No MD5 checksum file.
===>   XFree86-4.2.0_1,1 depends on shared library: Xft.1 - found
===>  Patching for XFree86-4.2.0_1,1
===>  Configuring for XFree86-4.2.0_1,1

pkg_info shows only the following packages installed after
portupgrade:

XFree86-clients-4.2.0_3 XFree86-4 Client environments
XFree86-documents-4.2.0 XFree86-4 Document Files

even though I only had installed the meta-port originally.  I'm
guessing that these got included as dependencies of the various X
clients that were on the upgrade list.  Somehow XF86 libs & headers
were NOT installed though...

At the end of portupgrade I see this:

Note that XFree86-4 supposedly succeeded.
