Nothing to worry about there.  That just probably means you installed
linux_base back when it was 7.1_5 (before early Feb or so).  But you
have since updated your ports tree, and now linux_base is 7.1_7.  So
when linux-sun-jdk goes to do a make clean on the dependencies, it
says it's cleaning the work dirs for 7.1-7.

You could use portupgrade (as you did) to update your linux_base if
you want (or deinstall, then make install again) and you will get the
newer version.

You didn't say what the failure was, but obviously installing 7.1_7
works okay here.

You may not use it, but it's possible other ports want X in order to
build.

ktrace is a valuable tool for a sysadmin and it's easy to use.
And it's useful when reporting problems on mailing lists ;)

Good luck.
