After port updates were complete, the following ports were built (first four of a long list): shells/44-csh sysutils/lsof irc/xchat net-im/pidgin (I don't think the first two ports have anything to do with the issue and are listed here only for completeness. 44-csh and lsof worked fine.) For the xchat build at all option screens, [TAB] and OK was selected. After compiling several dependent components normally, the build aborts with complaints about the version of "xcb" available not meeting package requirements > Requested 'xcb >=1.4' but version of XCB is 1.2 Similarly, attempting to build pidgin also fails when it tries to use XCB. I built these the two ports particular *after* portsnap because I knew that Yahoo changed authentication protocols since the 7.2-Release and the newer versions of pidgin at least supposedly addresses that issue, but currently neither port will compile because of the dependency problem. No doubt there are quite a few other ports also relying on XCB, so this problem may have a considerably wider impact. >How-To-Repeat: Try to download and compile this port. Don't change any offered check-boxes at any menu, just [TAB] to OK and proceed. It may be necessary to build this on a freshly-installed system that has not built any GUI/X11-based programs yet, in order to get it to fail. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
