Just not while you're in X. :) All these dependancies made me dizzy, so before going on an upgrade spree I did exactly that, pkg_delete'd all my old X junk (including KDE). KDE 3.1 has now been building for over 24 hours. I'd forgotten how huge it is. On the bright side, pkgdb -F is returning with no complaints. All in all, 4.3.0 is looking wonderful here.
