<p>I find that <tt>/usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade</tt> works really
well. For example:</p>
<tt># portupgrade -r ORBit</tt>
<tt># portupgrade -r pkgconfig</tt>
<p>This will upgrade ORBit and every other port that depends on it
(that needs updating).</p>
<p>This will upgrade pkgconfig and every other port that depends
on it (that needs updating).</p>
<p>However, sometimes so much changes that it becomes
necessary to do a little housekeeping first. In that case, this
usually works:</p>
<pre>
# pkg_delete -r ORBit\*
# pkg_delete -r pkgconfig\*
# cd /usr/ports/x11/gnome
# make clean
# make install clean
</pre>
<p>These steps will remove <b>all</b> the GNOME 1 and 2 components
and applications from your machine, but only reinstalls the
GNOME 1 desktop. You should be aware, that if it comes to
this, you will need to reinstall your applications after
reinstalling the desktop. Fortunately, this extreme measure
is only rarely needed.
