Actually Kevin, running "portupgrade -u -a -f" *does* attempt to rebuild Gn= omemeeting, which failed. The rebuild has kept on going though, which I-sup= pose-is-kinda-okay? My question is, what affect is this likely to have on t= he machine at the end of this (so far 30-odd hour) rebuild? I'm also curious as to why Gnomemeeting *was* a part of this, given the sug= gestion (above) that it shouldn't. Thanks for the time.
