As part of the "freebsd-update" process I did run a few portupgrade command=
s.  But I thought portupgrade only did whatever it does to installed ports.=
  Or are you saying it upgraded the xcb port which allowed Cacti to build t=
o completion?

Also, off topic I know, but what is the proper way to reply to this?  Reply=
?  Reply to all?  Or reply just to the mailing list?

You might want to try a tool like portmaster or portupgrade to manage these=
 dependency and package backup process.
