Well I've run pkgdb -F and deleted all dependencies on linux_base-7. Then I= 've=20 installed linux-realplayer, which installed linux-base_8 as a dependency of= =20 linux-XFree86-libs-4.3.0_2. Hopefully linux_base-8 is now a dependency in my pkgdb for everything used = to=20 be linked to linux_base-7.=20 Thanks for your help Joe & epi.
