Not yet. I didn't want to start making changes until I was clearer about
what this new utility did and how it worked. So you're saying that the -u
option does more than the -s option suggests it will?

So I should run portmanager INSTEAD of portupgrade for general
port-upgrading? For example, "portmanager -u" instead of "portupgrade -aR"?

So portmanager doesn't respect the "held" status I currently have OO in? I
definitely don't want portmanager -u attemping to touch OO.. that's over a
day's-worth of complile time just for OO... which will probably fail.

So you can't use portmanager to update just one port (and all its
dependencies, kind of like portupgrade -R)?

So anytime my system says to run pkgdb -F.... what do I do instead to fix
things? Does "portmanager -u" straighten things out? If so, does that mean
the ONLY way to repair the pkg db from then on is to have ALL your ports
current? At least with pkgdb -F one can fix a screwed-up database while
keeping the currently-installed versions.

Good question. Perhaps because I have compat4x-i386-5.3 (misc/compat4x)
installed?

I can pkg_delete it if that's recommended.

Well, not sure it is yet. I don't dare run it because the last OO package I
installed was 1.1.2 and it did Bad Things... wouldn't fully load up and the
splash-screen froze and wouldn't go away, the tasks wouldn't respond to a
kill -9, etc. Had to reboot then pkg_delete. And I think the 1.1.3 I have on
there right now isn't 1.1.3 final but an earlier devel edition... I guess
this because portupgrade and portmanager both say that it isn't current and
1.1.4 is avail.
