There are *NO* ports that depend on devel/gettext, so it is not really much of an issue. The conflict between devel/gettext and devel/gettext-old should kill exactly *zero* percent of the ports tree. The problems that people have had has usually been because they tried to update their installed ports (that were installed before gettext-old was created) and in the process got the dependencies screwed up somehow. This is problem with the updating process used, not with the ports tree itself. If you install everything from scratch there are no problems. -- <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se
