Can you give us a hint? :-) I understand what you mean, but it is a bit difficult to describe, since I don't have an idea myself. What I see is something like this: After a # portupgrade -r pkgconfig I receive
------------------------------------------------------ ** The following packages were not installed or upgraded (*:skipped / !:failed) ! accessibility/gnopernicus (gnopernicus-0.7.5) (uninstall error) ! x11-toolkits/gal2 (gal2-2.1.5) (uninstall error) ! www/gtkhtml3 (gtkhtml3-3.1.8) (uninstall error) ! net/gnomemeeting (gnomemeeting-0.98.5_1) (compiler error) ! accessibility/gok (gok-0.9.8) (uninstall error) ! databases/evolution-data-server (evolution-data-server-0.0.7) (unknown build error) ! print/ggv2 (ggv2-2.5.4) (uninstall error) ! x11/gdm2 (gdm2-2.5.90.1) (uninstall error) * x11/gnomepanel (gnomepanel-2.5.90) ! deskutils/gucharmap (gucharmap-gnome-1.3.0) (uninstall error) ! www/epiphany (epiphany-1.1.10) (uninstall error) * graphics/gimp-devel (gimp-gnome-2.0.pre3_1,1) * net/gnomeicu2 (gnomeicu2-0.99_1) * x11/gnomeapplets2 (gnomeapplets2-2.5.6) and so on ... ------------------------------------------------------- the uninstall errors can mostly be fixed manually by # make deinstall && make reinstall since a complete ../work directory has been built but hasn't been installed because of an existing version. After this manual procedure most skipped ports will build and install well. I also tried a # pkgdb -fu in case something is wrong with my package database, but that doesn't help either.
