Hi folks! A Word of thanks to Kent and Dan who took the time to help me figure out my problem.
In the end I rebiult XFree86-libraries using portupgrade -f, and thereafter I was able to use portupgrade to upgrade all the Xfree86-font* ports from 4.2 to 4.3 without any further problems. Apparently there was a specific issue somewhere between 4.2 and 4.3 where the installation of the Xfree86-server at version 4.3 would remove a component of XFree86-libraries which is required by the Xfree86-font* ports. So, the sequence to follow is this: 1) upgrade -server to 4.3 2) upgrade -libraries to 4.3 3) upgrade -font* to 4.3 I had unwittingly done (2) before (1). Thanks again to the more knowledgable folks who take the time to answer questions on this list! -- Regards, Patrick O'Reilly. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
