I don't think the out-of-date script is really meant for general usage. it's not documented in the FAQ or any of the ports related pages on openbsd.org, or in any manpages. basically, it's output can need some interpretation, as you have noticed. as far as libexpat, you probably have two different expat libraries (/usr/local/lib, /usr/X11R6/lib). btw, this has been discussed either here or on [EMAIL PROTECTED] googling for "out-of-date expat openbsd" leads me to the thread(s) right away. as far as a port not building, that's not a very good problem report. generally, when things won't build in -stable, it's a local problem. make sure you have run a 'make clean', and there's nothing funky in your environment, in /etc/mk.conf, etc. -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
