emacs22 and portsdb

[Arend P. van der Veen]

Hi,

I have been having trouble with emacs22 also.  I am using FreeBSD 
6.2-RELEASE-p7.  I did the upgrade as described in the updating notes. 
I use emacs plus

auctex
slime
quack
emacs-w3m

Everything was upgraded properly.  However, no portsdb -Uu generates 
errors.

Therefore, I have remove EMACS_PORT_NAME=emacs22 from /etc/make.conf and 
now portsdb -Uu works without a problem.  However, if I remove any of 
the ports such as auctex and then reinstall it, portinstall will try to 
install emacs21 again which conflicts with emacs22.

I am stuck.  If I leave EMACS_PORT_NAME=emacs22 in /etc/make.conf then 
dependencies work but portsdb -Uu fails.  If I remove 
EMACS_PORT_NAME=emacs22 from /etc/make.conf then portsdb -Uu works but 
the dependencies are messed up.

I even went as far as to delete emacs with pkg_delete -r emacs-22.1 and 
tried installing everything from scratch.  However the dependencies are 
still messed up.

Does anybody have a solution to this problem?

Thanks,
Arend van der Veen
