I used the term 'HEAD' because the SVN command I have used was:

# svn co https://svn0.us-west.FreeBSD.org/ports/head /usr/ports

the system in question hast around 1200 ports compiled based on the CVS
checkout of ports on May 19 last year; I want to check if I could
compile Ekiga out of its GIT, wich needs gtk+3.4.x and other recent
stuff; I will just for a test rename /usr/local and /var/db/pkg, update
the ports to 'HEAD' and compile them again to see if this would solve
the problem and make Ekiga happy.

Thanks for your feedback
