Well, that's what first brought the problem to my attention. I did a cvsup, 
then a fetchindex, then a porstdb -u, then a pkgdb -F, and finally a 
portupgrade -a, and had a number of ports that failed. Five of them have to 
do with xfce4, all related to the library problem. Well, I'll try a new 
cvsup and portupgrade.
