This is certainly sensible, however it appears that the onus has now been put on the maintainer of xorg-clients to change its installation process to accommodate xterm. This hasn't happened yet (after cvsup this morning), which means that xterm remains incompatible with the current xorg-clients version and thus will fail during every portupgrade -a until then, unless I make xterm a held package. According to UPDATING, upgrading "xorg-clients to 6.8.2_1 or newer" is ok, but this is not the case: # pkg_info -I xorg-clients\* xorg-clients-6.8.2_1 X client programs and related files from X.Org # portupgrade -p xterm ... (building) ---> Installing the new version via the port ===> Installing for xterm-206_1 ===> xterm-206_1 conflicts with installed package(s): xorg-clients-6.8.2 They install files into the same place. Please remove them first with pkg_delete(1). Couldn't this transition have been better managed? cheers, -- Joel Hatton -- Security Analyst | Hotline: +61 7 3365 4417 AusCERT - Australia's national CERT | Fax: +61 7 3365 7031 The University of Queensland | WWW: www.auscert.org.au Qld 4072 Australia | Email: auscert@auscert.org.au
