I have also been blocked by this issue.  I do understand that it is a 
volunteer effort and am very thankful for that effort.

It would be useful to know if the on-going SFE packaging effort will 
eventually magically "repair" these package problems (which might be 
blocking OI updates as well) or if much/most/all of existing SFE 
installations will need to be uninstalled so that the new SFE packages 
can be installed.  It is currently not clear how to uninstall older 
packages from the GUI since several of them seem to not be mentioned 
by the GUI even though 'pkg' still knows about them.

Since yesterday, I don't seem to be finding GCC 4.6.2 or LLVM 3.1 that 
were there sometime earlier.

I have a from-scratch GCC install which unfortunately used several of 
the libraries from SFE with the conflicts.  I will re-do this with my 
own from-scratch install of those libraries so that my private 
compiler is not dependent on these SFE libraries.
