At work we have folks use FreeBSD desktops. To do this we install pre-package versions of both KDE and GNOME (and a few other window managers) onto our desktop build machine so that users can choose which environment they want. This would appear to no longer be a supported use case in for 8.2 packages (and if you believe posts on the forums, 8.1 was equally broken). Namely, some package the GNOME depends on wants to use unixODBC, and some other package that KDE depends on wants to use libiodbc. The simplest suggestion in the forums appears to be to change the gnome package (devel/ptlib26) to use libiodbc instead. Can we please fix the default so that the pre-built package set works in the future? This sort of thing is important if we want to still support desktops in lab or corporate environments where you have a lot of identically-installed machines. -- John Baldwin
