OK, as I mentioned in my previous message it didn't help because it
would have needed a massive interactive pkgdb -F session to complete
(not really acceptable).  I think the behaviour of portupgrade
described above is incorrect.  There are two possible ways to look at
it being wrong:

* The xorg 7.2 ports have sprouted a whole bunch of new dependencies
(e.g. xorg-libraries now depends on libXft).  However for some reason
existing ports like libXft are not being upgraded prior to the ports
that now depend on them.  Note that the INDEX correctly records these
dependencies, so perhaps portupgrade is not checking for changes to
the dependency lists in the INDEX at runtime, but instead assuming
that the old dependencies recorded in the installed package are still
correct.

* When xorg-libraries builds, it notices that libXft needs to be
reinstalled (since it moved from /usr/X11R6 to /usr/local).  It
(actually bsd.port.mk) goes and installs libXft which completes
successfully, but portupgrade doesn't remove libXft from the list of
ports remaining to be upgraded (probably because it didn't notice that
bsd.port.mk installed a duplicate version of the port on its own
initiative), so later on it tries again to upgrade from
"libXft-2.1.7_1" to "libXft-2.1.12", even though it already did this
(in fact both versions are installed, the old in /usr/X11R6 and the
new in /usr/local).  I think this is actually a consequence of the
first bug (libXft should have been upgraded before xorg-libraries was,
so it should not have reached the "libXft ... - not found" in the
first place.

Sem, can you please take a look at the above analysis and the
typescript of the failed upgrade here:
http://people.freebsd.org/~pav/try1-typescript.gz and try to find a
solution?

Unfortunately it looks as if the xorg upgrade is going to block on
this issue, so we need to find a solution ASAP.
