(i could probably run 'pkgdb ... -s /imake-4/imake-6/ ...' to fix the image-4 issue, though i am not sure even that's the right fix. that still leaves me with the XFree86 dependencies). i am sure i am missing something obvious, but having searched the archives, i haven't found the fix. any advice? thank you! --ravi
