The FreeBSD 7.0 isos only contain 7.0 packages, so it makes no sense
that they installed 6.x packages for you :-)

I guessed so. I installed ports via packages, did a cvsup a few days
ago with Release I think and since then I'm compiling. When I wanted
to reinstall xemacs with --with-mule the trouble began and I have no
idea where 6.x packages come from.
And all that started because xemacs 21.5 can't find libgdbm which is
installed…argh…
At least the system is running but no japanese support in the editor I
plan to run for my writings is a little bit of a problem…
