I'm not really sure what you are trying to do, but you can't simply replace qt33 with qt4, there may be some exceptions, but generally things depend on one or the other. AFAIK qt4 and qt33 only conflict through their build dependencies so it is still possible to mix the two, it's just a bit awkward. A relatively straightforward way to update would be to do it in two parts using ports-mgmt/pkg_cutleaves to remove all build dependencies before each stage. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
