On one portupgrade seems to have worked ok, except that XFree86 does not function quite correctly - I shall assume it is an XFree86 problem. The second machine is totally screwed up - even though the upgrade did not work, the previous installation is now shot. Startx does not bring up kde3. I really don't know what to do - should I deinstall XFree86 or what? portversion does not work since dependencies are no longer valid. I have never fully understood how the dependencies function in portsdb -F. I don't know how this can be correctly fixed? I don't understand why the upgrade did not work. Does anyone understand any of this? Thanks for any suggestions... Phil Jourdan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
