I spent a lot of time last week fighting to get my system back in working order after an upgrade to 8.2p1 and an update of ports. kde4 has been the main trouble spot. I think I followed the UPDATING instructions properly but still ran into several problems. There was one problem I thought was worth a post here. I was running into errors during the build of py27-qt4-python (as part of the build of the kde4 metaport) that it could not find a bunch of phonon includes like abstractaudiooutput.h. I noticed these were installed on my system by the multimedia/phonon port into /usr/local/kde4/include/phonon, but the build of py27-qt4-phonon was not looking there. I tracked it to a bad symlink. On my system, I had a link /usr/local/include/qt4/phonon/phonon to /usr/local/kde4/include/phonon, but it seems it needed to be /usr/local/include/qt4/phonon. My guess is that the directory /usr/local/include/qt4/phonon was leftover from some previous version, and the ln command ended up putting the link in that directory when it needed to replace that directory. I'm not sure if that is something that needed an UPDATING entry along the way or if my system just got into a bad state, but I decided to post this for the benefit of others who might have similar errors.
