I'm not going to waste my time unleashing and messing with the
"heavily-chained" beast when I don't use it, but I can give
portupgrade users a couple of general hints:
1. When portupgrading something like GNOME components, ALWAYS specify
the -R option (i.e. portupgrade -R gnome) to ensure that all the
requisite packages have been upgraded before the dependent packages
are built.
If it still gets some dependent packages dysfunctional, then that will
be the ports' problem. If a package Y stops working after upgrading
one of its requisite packages called X, then the PORTREVISION of the
package Y should have been bumped in the first place where the package
X was upgraded, because the package Y needs rebuilding.
2. It's handier to use packages instead of ports (i.e. portupgrade -PP
-R gnome) especially for something stubborn like GNOME, since the
packages created on the package builders are all built in clean-room
environments and they are thus built and supposed to work properly.
Note: In this case, you must wait for up to a week long until the
packages of the latest ports are built on bento and appear on FTP
sites.
