If you want your bind update to be self-contained then you'll need to make your own port and package from it containing its own gettext, so you can upgrade that one package without breaking every other package that depends on gettext. Otherwise, you just have to accept that a package other than bind, which bind and just about everything else depends on, *also* changed; and you can't just upgrade bind without upgrading gettext *and* either upgrading or removing the other packages that depend on the old gettext. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
