hello all, i switched from XFree86 to X.org on my 4.9-RELEASE system, using the instructions in UPDATING. i had to do one extra things, before i could finish the Xorg install: i had to force upgrade of mesa-4 to mesa-6 (under new name, which i forget). i also edited make.conf and changed X_WINDOW_SYSTEM. now, after the switch, i have the same problem with 'pkgdb -F', reported in: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/htdig/freebsd-questions/2004-November/063409.html kris kennaway responded to that question with the below: -------------------------- > > On Wed, Nov 03, 2004 at 08:10:51PM -0500, Ralph M.

(i could probably run 'pkgdb ... -s /imake-4/imake-6/ ...' to fix the image-4 issue, though i am not sure even that's the right fix. that still leaves me with the XFree86 dependencies). i am sure i am missing something obvious, but having searched the archives, i haven't found the fix. any advice? thank you! --ravi
