Previous versions remove xterm on deinstall so CONFLICTS have been set accordingly. i only discovered this myself recently. hth. Thanks David, I read the warning in UPDATING. My problem was performing the upgrade while half asleep. I paid a price during the GNOME upgrade as well. Thanks again for taking the time to respond.

Startx Missing Following Portupgrade
Hi, I'm running FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE #0 on two machines and just CVSup'd my systems last night finishing with portupgrade this morning. I ran into a problem with machine #1. I ran portupgrade and stumbled with the xterm and x11-fonts/linux-fontconfig upgrades. I tried to run startx to google the problems but got: command not found. Reinstalling linux-base seemed to resolve the x11-fonts problem. I then deinstalled, and reinstalled xorg-clients to upgrade it and ran portupgrade -aRr. No more apparent problems. However, still unable to run startx. I searched /usr/X11R6/bin and couldn't locate the file either. The second machine was also upgrading and I noticed the same/similar failure to install xterm 206_1 due to a conflict with xorg-clients. I haven't attempted to fix it yet for fear of losing startx here also. I'm thinking of deinstalling/reinstalling one, or more ports to reinstall startx on machine #1. (Not sure which ones, however). Any suggestions? Thnx, Bob Perry ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
