I may be wrong in this, but I suspect that the UPDATING entry
from 20140416 -does- apply.

It seems print/freetype2 has changed the version of libfreetype
it installs from lib/libfreetype.so.9 to lib/libfreetype.so.6.11.2.
This will mean (I think) that any port depending on libfreetype will
need to be rebuilt, linking against the new (but lower-numbered)
library. If not, then they will be looking for the old library, and
failing when they don't find it.
