When trying to install xfce4 it fails with this message:

# whereis xml2po
xml2po: /usr/local/bin/xml2po /usr/local/man/man1/xml2po.1.gz

Why can't it find xml2po when it exists?

When I try to install textproc/gnome-doc-utils I get this:

Code: 
===>  Installing for py26-libxml2-2.7.3

      You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again
      by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly.
      If you really wish to overwrite the old port of textproc/py-libxml2
      without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER"
      in your environment or the "make install" command line.
*** Error code 1

So I did make deinstall in /usr/ports/textproc/py-libxml2 then tried textproc/gnome-doc-utils again and still get the same message. Why does it say textproc/py-libxml2 is still installed after I deinstall it? Even when I try to make reinstall /usr/ports/textproc/py-libxml2 it gives me the same message about An older version of textproc/py-libxml2 is already installed.

So, I do:

Code: 
# pkg_delete py-libxml2
pkg_delete: no such package 'py-libxml2' installed
# pkg_delete textproc/py-libxml2
pkg_delete: no such package 'py-libxml2' installed
# pkg_delete /usr/ports/textproc/py-libxml2
pkg_delete: no such package 'py-libxml2' installed

Why first it tells me it's installed then it tells me it's not? This is getting very annoying.

To delete a port with pkg_delete, the version must be included as well, such as $ pkg_delete py26-libxml2-2.7.3. Another option is to change into the port directory and execute $ make deinstall

The problem you're experiencing (the one related to textproc/py-libxml2) seems to be related to the change of the default version of Python. Check out $ pkg_updating -d 20090608 python. Upgrade Python to version 2.6 and try installing Xfce again.

Update: Portmaster & portupgrade aren't part of the base system. They can be installed from ports-mgmt/portmaster and ports-mgmt/portupgrade.
 
Ok I upgraded python and tried to reinstall xfce4 and now we're back to:

Code: 
/usr/local/bin/xml2po: not found

# whereis xml2po
xml2po: /usr/local/bin/xml2po /usr/local/man/man1/xml2po.1.gz

I'll be surprised if this ever works.
