This kind of situation is exactly the reason for the -R option. Sometimes things need to be fixed manually, and it's nice to not have to start over completely from scratch. > And while re-building/installing devel/icu wasn't really optimal, > it wasn't a big deal, either. Had it been, say www/firefox, > www/webkit-gtk2, or lang/gcc45 that wanted rebuilding, well.... :-} True, but -R also avoids having to re-re-build the ports that depend on icu that re-built successfully the first time through. hth, Doug - -- Nothin' ever doesn't change, but nothin' changes much. -- OK Go Breadth of IT experience, and depth of knowledge in the DNS.
