Thanks.  That’s what I was hoping, but it is good to confirm.

So, I wanted to check how best to go about getting this upgrade to work, and to make sure that installing with +flat_namespace is not going to start breaking other ports such as ImageMagick and ghostscript since each of those uses these ports?
