From
<URL:http://bento.freebsd.org/errorlogs/i386-4-latest/linux-epsxe-1.6.0.log>
it looks like the problem is that bento is doing a pkg_add of a linux-gtk
package which has a dependency on linux_base 7.1.  In my experience, the
linux-gtk port works fine with either linux_base 7.1 or linux_base 8.0.
I marked the linux_base 8.0 port RESTRICTED, so most users won't be
installing it from a package.  I think that really very few users would
suffer from this problem.  A solution would be to include the GTK+ library
in the linux_base 7.1 port/package, like I did with linux_base 6.1.  That
was unpopular.

If this port is removed, the problem will still remain.  There are other
ports, and unported software, that are affected.  Maybe
MANUAL_PACKAGE_BUILD would be a decent workaround.
