It sucessfuly installs xterm and -clients. 'portupgrade -wONk xorg-clients' also went fine. Is in /var/db/pkg only one directory that starts with xorg-clients (or none after deinstall)? FWIW 'portupgrade -f xterm xorg-clients' also works with both of them installed... > More pointedly, what is up with this message: > > ===> xorg-clients-6.8.2_1 depends on package: xterm>0 - not found > > Is there really a package named "xterm>0" ? Sure. It's xterm that has version bigger than 0 - so any xterm would do. It's not quite yet documented feature that got added in June (there's entry about it in CHANGES file - 20050609). It seemed perfect for this occasion, because depending on xterm or xterm-static executable was not desired.

I wouldn't want to trouble you more but it would be interesting to know the contents of /var/db/pkg at that time. Dejan
