Hi !

I did encounter a xorgproto conflict as, mentioned in /ports/Updating. And was
able to solve the porblem with the information relating to that issue. (Delete
xorgproto and install again). (x11/xorgproto conflicts with glproto-1.4.17)

I'm running Freebsd on Vmware and i had vmware-tools installed, when i decided
to install open-vmware-tools. I was then concurrently updating my packages with
portmaster.
So I deleted vmware-tools, installed open-vmware, and finally reinstalled
xf86-video-vmware xf86-input-vmmouse with pkg. When installing
xf86-video-vmware xf86-input-vmmouse (can't remember which one) pkg deleted
xorgproto-2018.4, and installed an earlier version of xorgproto. This resulted
in that i had an the same error over again(portmaster stopped with an error at
firefox), with xorgproto as mentioned above.


Portmasterfail.txt left me with a list of ports not finished, and to be resumed
later on, and at the very end of that list xf86-video-vmware and
xf86-input-vmmouse are included. My question is vill open-vm-tools work if i
delete xorgproto and reinstall xorgproto-2018.4 , and if i then resume updating
the ports with portmaster, will it delete xorgproto-2018.4 and install an
earlier version when it reaches video-vmware or xf86-input-vmmouse (now with
ports and not with pkg)? If does I will have to delete xorgproto again and
install it anew, and it is 900 mb to recompile (together with packages deleted
that use xorgproto). I have left my system as it is and I don't really know
what to do besides deleting open-vm-tools which I want to keep.

  AFFECTS: users of x11/xorg and all ports with USE_XORG=*proto
  AUTHOR: zeising at FreeBSD.org

  The xorg *proto packages have all been merged into one package,
  x11/xorgproto.  This might cause issues with upgrading.  If you
  get conflicts between xorgproto and old *proto packages, please
  remove the old package and install xorgproto again.

  In order to remove all orphaned ports, including all *proto port,
  the following can be used after the ports tree has been updated:
  pkg version -l \? | cut -f 1 -w | grep -v compat | xargs pkg delete -fy
