Dear all,
It appears that using
# portmaster -d -r pixman -x 'texlive-*-*'
is doing the job :) I am keeping my fingers crossed and hope it comes
through and succeeds!
It stopped with libexo, but got that sorted out. Then stopped with
mplayer*, but I am skipping it at this time. -x 'mplayer-*' and hope
it succeeds, I'll then rebuild mplayer later if needed.
Best Regards,
Antonio
