According to the instructions:
Unfortunately portupgrade (nor portupgrade-devel) cannot yet handle
the rigors of the xorg upgrade without a small bit of help:
# portupgrade -Rf libXft
results in:
** Listing the failed packages (*:skipped / !:failed)
* x11/xorg-libraries (xorg-libraries-7.2_1)
---> Packages processed: 112 done, 47 ignored, 1 skipped and 0 failed
So I guess I'm gonna do a clean install of all of X....but can you tell
me which packages I should remove exactly?
