https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=193692 --- Comment #4 from peterc@luddite.com.au --- (In reply to John Hein from comment #3) My point was that WITH_NEW_XORG lives in the land of the xorg developers and maintainers, not the other 99.99% of users. The 9.x release notes give NO hints as to this issue and so the expectation of pkg upgrade NOT screwing an installation needs to be maintained. The simple (if temp fix) was to replace cairo. NB I said replace, the concept of a rollback doesn't exist with pkg. I'm running a vanilla 9 upgraded to 9.3 with freebsd-update and pkg upgrade. FreeBSD 9.3-RELEASE-p2 CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8500 @ 3.16GHz agp0: <Intel G45 SVGA controller> on vgapci0 X.Org X Server 1.7.7 as delivered by the "update" tools.

The recent snafus with the package repository, sysinstall and the gung-ho introduction of pkg, have driven away many long time users. If use on the desktop becomes messy, a whole new generation of users will go elsewhere. Even I, a VERY long term user in the server space, am beginning to wonder why I continue to bother. </flame> pjc -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
