I have been trying to upgrade cups to 1.1.20 and have been running into 
some problems with libraries not being found (specifically jpeg.9 and 
tiff.4). After a few different iterations of pkg_add, portupgrade, 
portinstall, and accompanying pkg_delete, pkg_deinstall, make install, 
etc., I finally tried symlinking the .so files to the numbered versions 
that don't seem to exist and all seems to be well.

  ln -s /usr/local/lib/libjpeg.a /usr/local/lib/libjpeg.so.9
  ln -s /usr/local/lib/libtiff.a /usr/local/lib/libtiff.so.4

pkgdb doesn't seem to have any problems (I have run it enough times 
today), cvsup has done its magic a couple of times.

I thought portinstall/upgrade -rR would fix any out-of-date ports and 
make everything happy? What am I doing wrong to make this libraries not 
get installed?
