I just upgraded from FreeBSD 4.9R to 4.11R (cvsup'd sources and ports, buildworld, buildkernel, etc). Then I went to work on upgrading my ports. Portupgrade and some manual intervention did a fairly decent job. I used the "ports" which compiled mostly everything (Xfree-4 went fine too) but it never compiles KDE so I fall-back to using "packages" for those. But I'm confused as to why the packages seem to be older versions than what's in the ports? A fair bit of the packages required for KDE spit out notices they were expecting version B of a dependency but I have version A (the latest) I can't update via ports: arts-1.3.2,1 gdk-pixbuf-0.22.0 kdemultimedia-mpeglib_artsplug-3.3.2 koffice-1.3.5_1,1 and if I try to install via package, I get the versions above, which are now considered "old" and I'm being told they need to be updated when I run pkg_version I get varying errors when trying to compile via ports, of which something about libjpeg seems to be common. Do I need to cvsup again and try the above 4 programs again? or do I need to capture the text where they bomb and submit to the ports' responsible person? Thanks... -gerry
