My problem: Running FreeBSD_5.4-RELEASE with XFree86-4.5.0, there is a mis-match: the underlying o.s. and newly installed and upgraded ports expect X.org After portupgrade of an X-supported port, this mis-match shows up as "stale dependency(ies)" It's a bore repeatedly to point new and upgraded ports to XFree86-libraries-4.5.0, etc. (and there is no XFree86 component that corresponds directly to X.org-TrueType, or is there?) My questions: 0.) How to change the underlying o.s. default expectation to XFree86 AND is this a good idea for the present and future of 5.x? 1.) Is a better solution to bite the bullet, deinstall all XFree86 components and install X.org, since FreeBDS is 5.x? (N.B. I do not want to start a flame over XFree86 vs. X.org. That's a too-old and pointless debate, and I have no inherent reason to prefer one over the other.) Thanks, very much. for more info, suggestions. Jake
