First, remove whatever symlink you added (that is probably why you have two copies of freetype installed), then pkg_delete the other freetype, and both the kdebase3 packages. This should get you to a reasonably sane state. Then run 'pkgdb -F' and make sure there's no problems with your package database, and then try installing kde/freetype again. -- David Taylor davidt@yadt.co.uk "The future just ain't what it used to be"
