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?
