Re: OOo-1.1.3
I downloaded the OOo-1.1.3_nl package yesterday and wanted to install it like I did the previous version. I was very surprised to see that it did *not* wanted to install with a pkg_add onto my freebsd-4.10p3 system. It was made dependend on de X.Org I did the exact same thing this morning (after failing to build the port myself...) For what it is worth, I just pkg_delete'd my older 1.1.0 version (but kept a package just in case) and forced the pkg_add of the new version with the -f flag. It complained, but so far it seems to be working. I do not use ooo very often, so _ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
