I saw an article (some time ago on freebsdzine.org) which suggested that you should uninstall X clients before the upgrade and reinstall them after. I think that is a little unreasonable since you are just replacing shared libs. Also, can portupgrade safely upgrade something as weighty as X? thanks all -- Steve Tremblett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
