Hi folks,

we had a rather intrusive ImageMagick update recently, which left some
ports broken. Since it's quite a task for a single guy to fix them
all, I'd like to ask you folks to help out with this.

This is a list of known breakages:

science/gnudatalanguage
textproc/htmltolatex
graphics/kallery
graphics/php-magickwand
lang/q
graphics/reallyslick
graphics/ruby-rmagick


Usually, I have no major problems updating ports. I use 'portupgrade'
as my usually ports maintenance tool. However, in case like this I
prefer 'portmanager'. It seems to correct problems with dependencies
much better than 'portupgrade'. I would recommend that you do something
like this:

1) If portmanager is not installed, install it.
2) Update your ports tree
3) Run: portmanager -u -l -p -y

That should update all of your ports and force a rebuild of any port
using an old or out dated dependency. It will also create a log file
in: '/var/log/portmanager.log'. This usually works for me.

Good luck!

Portmanager cannot work around changed library names either. The ports have to be fixed.
