i am fixing a problem in my box (missing library) ,so i am rebuilding my packages ,rebuilding it in parts ,ex :
Code: 
portupgrade -rRf lib*
now i want to rebuild gtk* with out rebuilding packages that already rebuild it from previus command like this :
Code: 
portupgrade -rR gtk* -xrR lib*
 
AFIK [red]-x[/red] does not work like that.

Further, without [red]-f[/red] it won't rebuild up-to-date ports in any case. # portupgrade -fR gtk\* should almost never be needed, excepting that you're getting unusual gtk errors when trying to run things like firefox or gimp. Just make sure everything under % pkg_info -r gtk-2\* is already up to date, & run # portupgrade -r gtk\* (or with the addition of [red]-f[/red], if things break).
 
I ought to add: what you probably want to do is
# portupgrade -Rx gtk-2\* gtk-2\* && portupgrade -r -x lib\* gtk\*

NB I am not entirely certain this won't grab the second match for [red]lib\*[/red] and recursively update that as well, though I would think you will have little to no problem if you just leave out the [red]-x lib\*[/red] bit, in any case.
