Don't delete any of those dependencies! If you do then you will probably have to re-install those packages to get the dependencies back.


Great. I just had the same problem and I deleted the dependencies ;)
This is fun.  If I had only waited 10 minutes...

I hope I didn't break anything beyond repair.....
I don't think so. Keep track of which ports you deleted the dependencies from, then when you have the whole xorg-clients/xterm mess sorted out, just force a re-install of those packages and the right dependencies will come back. Time consuming, but not rocket science ;-)

I had to do something like that when interrupting gnome_upgrade early seems to bugger everything a treat, but I got everything back OK (I think!).
