Re: XFree86-4.3.0,1 +wrapper-1.0_2
You can forcibly delete wrapper package, and the do pkgdb -F and delete dependency on it... Only XFree metaport is depends on it. Sincerely, Maxim M.

XFree86-4.3.0,1 +wrapper-1.0_2
Xfree requires wrapper but seems to break GDM for user logins. Is this normal, and can I force un-install wrapper without breaking anything?

Re: XFree86-4.3.0,1 +wrapper-1.0_2
wrapper is needed to run script startx by ordinary user, not root... Seems like gdm works well for me without wrapper. Shall we need to make XFree86-4.3.0,1 an option to install without wrapper package? Sincerely, Maxim M.
