Yesterday I updated ports on my notebook (8.0-RELEASE-p2), took a deep breath, used portmaster to upgrade xorg to 7.5 (portmaster -D xorg-7.4_4) - ran without a hitch.
Then, I upgraded portmaster (portmaster -D portmaster) - also no
problems.
Then, I tried to upgrade jpeg...

----------------------------------------
I've tried upgrading other ports as well: same story. portmaster 2.25
seems to work fine on other systems which have a native /usr/ports. I'm
thinking that portmaster's non-standard location awareness may have
broken with some of the recent ORIGIN stuff? The version of portmaster
I used to upgrade xorg was 2.2x (I think 2.22): I remember noticing that
it was 2 or 3 releases behind.
Thanks again for providing this great utility.
