Obviously I must not properly understand what its doing...but in the error message I have a newer version of the dependency than the port calls for and the port misidentifies this. If there was a newer port of say 'pan' that had newer dependencies .. ie. the one's i already have than i'd be golden. But why wouldn't cvsup'ing take care of that? Like i said...you're dealing with a newb here.

I with you until after 'deinstall'. What does make distclean and popd do? Googled a bit and got unsatisfactory answers. I am simply using the default shell. This is how i got in trouble before...make deinstall and then make install clean of glib20. Then gnome will be unable to start complaining of missing a libgtk.so.o file (that's not the exact name). Since there was a new rc1 and i was just experimenting i blew the install away and went with the new. I'm not too keen on doing that again...
