Do you know specifically what was causing the problem? Also, do you know when you had installed the first time (or better yet, what revision of ports/x11/wrapper/Makefile did you have then)? I recently made some changes to the port, and I didn't test installing an X server, then installing the wrapper, then installing another X server. Maybe I didn't give enough thought to that case. > wrapper already RUN_DEPENDS on XFree86-4-server.

Can you be more specific about what's wrong with the way bsd.port.mk handles dependencies? Are any patches available (perhaps in the portmgr queue) which might improve the situation for users who don't have portupgrade? If there's no fix, maybe describing the deficiency would inspire someone to write one. :) -- Trevor Johnson To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
