Hi All, To add to the on-going discussion. I just did: sudo port -f upgrade gnome-user-docs I get the following output Warning: Uninstall forced. Proceeding despite dependencies. ---> Deactivating libart_lgpl 2.3.19_1 ---> Uninstalling libart_lgpl 2.3.19_1 ---> Installing libart_lgpl 2.3.19_1 ---> Activating libart_lgpl 2.3.19_1 ---> Cleaning libart_lgpl ---> Fetching XFree86 Error: You have an Apple X11 installation already.

I guess I going to write my own perl script for upgrading, because it is ridiculous that port wants to install things I do not want need screwing up my set up. Accidently hit Ctrl-C instead of Command- C for the copy. Oh, well back to the drawing board. Interestingly, when I did sudo port -d upgrade gnome-user-docs Xfree was not installed. regards Keith.
