Hi, I wanna upgrade ghostscript to ghostscript-gpl-8.15 from

when I tried to pkg_delete the gnu version, it said
pkg_delete: package 'ghostscript-gnu-7.07_15' is required by these
other packages
and may not be deinstalled:
ImageMagick-6.2.8.5

transfig-3.2.4_1
xdvik-tetex-22.84.10

I'll probably also delete ghostscript-gnu-commfont-7.07_3 and
zh-moefonts-cid-1.0_3. But is there anything more I should consider
harmful to my system when I switch ghostscript gnu to gpl? Or simply
pkg_delete by --force is enough?
Thank you,

Try pkg_delete -f {name of all ghostscript files here}. Then install the
newest port version and be sure to run pkgdb -F afterwards so you can
fix the package database, such that it references the right ghostscript.

Additionally I had to set GHOSTSCRIPT_PORT=print/ghostscript-gpl
/etc/make.conf in order to get newly installed/upgraded ports to depend
on gs-gpl instead of gs-gnu. I was never able to get gs-afpl to work
properly.
HTH,
