Hello, I was installing an app and it gave me errors about "/usr/X11R6 must be a symlink". So I went ahead and followed the instructions in /usr/ports/UPDATING (20070519), but ran into more problems. Mainly, when I try to run 'portupgrade -a', it gives me the very same "/usr/X11R6 must be a symlink" error! I need to have 7.2 installed in order to install 7.2, apparently? I have not yet tried the development version of portupgrade - maybe that will fix it? This is the relevant error I'm getting during the run of 'portupgrade -a': ---> Upgrading 'xorg-libraries-6.9.0' to 'xorg-libraries-7.2_2' (x11/xorg-libraries) ---> Building '/usr/ports/x11/xorg-libraries' ===> Cleaning for xorg-libraries-7.2_2 /usr/X11R6 exists, but it is not a symlink. Installation cannot proceed. This looks like an incompletely removed old version of X. In the current version, /usr/X11R6 must be a symlink if it exists at all.Please read /usr/ports/UPDATING (entry of 20070519) for the procedure to upgrade X.orgrelated ports.*** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/x11/xorg-libraries. ** Command failed [exit code 1]: /usr/bin/script -qa /tmp/portupgrade.48744.100 env UPGRADE_TOOL=portupgrade UPGRADE_PORT= xorg-libraries-6.9.0 UPGRADE_PORT_VER=6.9.0 make ** Fix the problem and try again. Thanks -John
