What good will portupgrade it do here? Obviously I must not
properly understand what its doing...but in the error message I
have a newer version of the dependency than the port calls for
and the port misidentifies this. If there was a newer port of
say 'pan' that had newer dependencies .. ie. the one's i already
have than i'd be golden. But why wouldn't cvsup'ing take care
of that? Like i said...you're dealing with a newb here. I am
obviously missunderstanding something...

Can we teach a man to fish here? I with you until after
'deinstall'. What does make distclean and popd do? Googled a
bit and got unsatisfactory answers. I am simply using the
default shell. This is how i got in trouble before...make
deinstall and then make install clean of glib20. Then gnome
will be unable to start complaining of missing a libgtk.so.o
file (that's not the exact name). Since there was a new rc1 and
i was just experimenting i blew the install away and went with
the new. I'm not too keen on doing that again...
Thanks again,
Mak.
