Subject:   Can't install fontconfig

I seem to have continual trouble with the port fontconfig. Last month I 
solved the problem by deleting everything in my True Type fonts directory 
and copying over just the fonts I wanted from my Wondoze machine. After 
that fc-cache ran correctly and I was able to install the upgrage to 
2.1.93. So now the port has 2.2.0, and when I try to install it I get:

>Running fc-cache to build fontconfig cache...

For some reason portupgrade has deleted fontconfig from the installed ports 
database. This hasn't caused me any problems yet in running programs that 
supposedly depend on it, but whenever I try to run 'pkgdb -F' I get hung up 
with a "stale dependency". When I run 'portversion -c' it reports that 
fontconfig-2.1.93 needs to be updated to 2.2.0. When I run 'portupgrade -rf 
fontconfig' it tells me no such package is installed and I go back to 
either 'portupgrade -Nrf' or 'portinstall'.

What can I do about this "undefined symbol" in 
/usr/X11R6/lib/lobfontconfig.so.1", which appears to be the problem?
