Ah, the useful information starts pouring in!

I'd be willing to do this... but... is it possible to cheat a little and
determine proactively what ports are linked against them? See the output in
the other post I made earlier today (the huge one).

I'm unclear the difference between "portmanager -s" and "portversion -v"?
They seem to output the same results, more or less, neither being the
dramatic list of apps linked to old libraries. Instead it's simply a list of
what I have installed that has newer versions in the ports tree.

I have. :( Do the outputs above suggest that using portmanager isn't going
to do much for me?

Instead of deleting, would a portupgrade -fR make more sense, that way you
catch all the dependencies in case it's one of THEM that's causing the app
to fail?

Agreed. That's my goal.

24+ hours sounds about normal. Only reason I have 1.1.3 right now is I used
a package this morn (I had a homebuilt 1.1.0 earlier). Haven't tested it
yet. Considering the portversion/portmanager output above, I think I got the
devel version. :(

That'd be really nice. I've been stuck on 1.1.0 for a long while. 1.1.3 is
much prettier.

Hmm I didn't know you could do conditional statements like that in
/etc/make.conf. That's nice. I actually already use both those values
though.

Sounds good... just trying to make sure we're certain where to go from here
first before we start busting apps by whacking old libraries. You might want
to take a look at that other long post I made earlier today that I mentioned
and see if it provides you any additional information.
Thanks so much for your help!
