Hi All,
To add to the on-going discussion. I just did:
sudo port -f upgrade gnome-user-docs
I get the following output
Warning: Uninstall forced. Proceeding despite dependencies.

Error:
You have an Apple X11 installation already.
MacPorts will not overwrite it.
If you really want to use XFree86 instead,
please move it aside first :

Well if it sees I have X11 and I definately do not want to install
why does it do it anyway ?
I guess I going to write my own perl script for upgrading, because
it is ridiculous that port
wants to install things I do not want need screwing up my set up.
Accidently hit Ctrl-C instead of Command- C for the copy. Oh, well
back to the drawing board.
Interestingly, when I did sudo port -d upgrade gnome-user-docs Xfree
was not installed.
regards
Keith.
