Hi all,

I'm having a hard time upgrading xfce4 on a FreeBSD 6.1 box. I've
tried portupgrade first, but as it bumped into a boatload of errors I
eventually had to resort to upgrade individual packages. This left me
with a mix of packages of xfce versions 4.2 and 4.4, and a build
failure in xfce4-mcs-manager which I'm unable to resolve:

/usr/local/lib/libxfcegui4.so: undefined reference to `xfce_desktop_entry_has_translated_entry'

All relevant xfce4 libraries which are listed as a dependency of this
package updated ok:

markus at yeti:/var/db/pkg# ls libxf*
libxfce4gui-4.4.0:
libxfce4mcs-4.4.0:
libxfce4util-4.4.0:

The other xfce4 packages look like this (some not upgraded due to their
dependency on xfce4-mcs-manager):

markus at yeti:/var/db/pkg# ls xfce4*
xfce4-appfinder-4.2.3:
xfce4-artwork-0.0.4_5:
xfce4-battery-plugin-0.2.0_8:
xfce4-calendar-4.2.3_1:
xfce4-clipman-plugin-0.4.1_3:
xfce4-cpugraph-plugin-0.2.2_4:
xfce4-desktop-4.2.3_1:
xfce4-fm-4.2.3_1:
xfce4-genmon-plugin-1.1_2:
xfce4-icon-theme-4.4.0:
xfce4-iconbox-4.2.3_1:
xfce4-mcs-manager-4.2.3:
xfce4-mcs-plugins-4.2.3_1:
xfce4-mixer-4.2.3_1:
xfce4-netload-plugin-0.3.2_1:
xfce4-notes-plugin-0.9.7_7:
xfce4-panel-4.2.3_1:
xfce4-print-4.2.3_1:
xfce4-session-4.2.3_1:
xfce4-systemload-plugin-0.3.4_5:
xfce4-systray-4.2.3_1:
xfce4-toys-4.2.3_1:
xfce4-trigger-launcher-4.2.3_1:
xfce4-utils-4.2.3_1:
xfce4-wm-4.2.3.2_1:
xfce4-wm-themes-4.4.0:
xfce4-xkb-plugin-0.3.3:

All non-xfce4 packages which the xfce4 packages depend upon appear to
have upgraded ok (or so portupgrade says).

Is there anything I can do except waiting for prebuilt packages?

regards,
Markus
