I did a "dirty" thing and just ran the new patch on top of the
already patched system. Got some complaints that the patch was
there already, and was it OK. So I answered yes to all of it and
the patch applied on the missing parts. And since the system was
updated yesterday with the -7 patch, it was a few parts left.
XFree86-FontServer was one of them, and when I run
`portupgrade XFree86-FontServer` it does nothing, no upgrade.
Any suggestions? All the other parts are working though, except
for xdpyinfo which gives a lot of output but gives this strange
output:
# xdpyinfo
name of display: :0.0
version number: 11.0
vendor string: The XFree86 Project, Inc
vendor release number: 0
XFree86 version: 0.0.0
