I realise what wrapper is for, but if I type pkg_delete wrappe-1.0_2 at the command line, I get:
pkg_delete: package 'wrapper-1.0_2' is required by these other packages and may not be deinstalled: XFree86-4.3.0,1 I never installed wrapper, but when I did a portupgrade to the latest XFree, I guess it installed wrapper as a dependency... I will forcably delete wrapper to see if that fixes the problem (although I will try your solution first...I don't like deleting dependencies)...
