As per /usr/ports/UPDATING: "20141130: AFFECTS: users of devel/gettext (close to everyone) AUTHOR: tijl@FreeBSD.org The devel/gettext port has been split up in devel/gettext-runtime, a lightweight package containing runtime libraries, and devel/gettext-tools, a package containing developer tools. The devel/gettext port still exists as a metaport. You must first delete the existing installation of gettext and then reinstall it. This will break sudo, so you *must* do this in a root shell (sudo -i) if you use sudo. " I did an upgrade last week and this package pretty much broke everything (including most of xfce4) causing me to do a pretty big uninstall/reinstall dance. Of course if I read /usr/ports/UPDATING first I would have saved myself some drama :) Cheers, -pete -- pete wright www.nycbug.org @nomadlogicLA
