Sure, you could upgrade the dependent ports manually, if you wish.
I'd suggest doing a "pkg_info -R gettext\*" and saving the resulting list
of dependencies, so you'll have an easy reference.
Think I'll run portaudit first and go on from there.
I have 48 dependencies on one box and 151 on another and only use a
dialup service. Disconnections are common and can be a real problem in
this situation.
Are the two boxes networked together? If so, you could have the distfiles
directory on one machine and mount it on the other via NFS, thereby
avoiding the need to download to each machine separately.
One box is more of a server and the other functions primarily as my
FreeBSD desktop machine which also runs Suse Linux and XP operating
systems. Hoping to learn something with this setup.
Will need to look into your suggestion of sharing a distfile directory.
This particular issue with expat caught me by surprise. I upgraded
expat2 last week and wasn't aware of any problem but did run into an
unexpected problem with the gnome desktop which hasn't been resolved
yet. Maybe expat2 was involved.
Thanks everyone,
Bob
