I have started portinstalling gnome2 with dependencies and no matter if I
manually build cdrtools or cdrtools-cjk the machine always wants to build
the other one :( As they can't coexist, what can I do to make the
"portinstall -R gnome2" work?? I have (ab)used pkgdb in every conceivable
way and done "portupgrades -o" back and forth, but nothing helps. I'm
currently out of ideas. There must be a way - right??
