I already had portupgrade installed on my system so I did this: pkgdb -F # answered yes to fix all problems with freetype2 portupgrade freetype2 Now, here is the freetype2 entry from "pkg_version -v": freetype2-2.1.0_1 = up-to-date with port And, as far as I can tell, everything X-ish is working properly after the port upgrade. thanks again, rcf To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
