If you're really having problems then uninstall the following: I found it, old includes. The trouble with doing what you ask is that when you try it, it refuses to uninstall those, unless you also ax all the ports that use those. If you don't want to rip everything (libs and apps) out every time you upgrade, you're screwed. I sure wish this didn't upgrade so quickly. Maybe I ought to try the -f flag to pkg_delete. Yeah, I'll try that next, because something else has broken now (imlib). ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@glue.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run picnic (FreeBSD-current) (301) 220-2114 | and jaunt (Solaris7). ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
