14 Yes, this has been haunting me for a while!

27 I was actually able to find/solve the problem. For the record, I did
28 an `equery depends php` and got swig and base and one other package
29 (don't remember - probably something I didn't need anyway). ;-)
30 Anyhoo, once these packages were uninstalled, I was able to update
31 normally. I think base was the clinger, but I don't know for sure. I
32 haven't tried it yet (that's the project for today), but I'm going to
33 go back and, hopefully get those packages back on there.

35 Thanks for the tip tho.
