The default linux_base was changed from v7 to v8. You need to update from v7 to v8 and rebuild every linux port. To update run:
デフォルトのlinux_baseをv7からv8に変更しました。v7からv8への更新と共に、あらゆるlinux portも再構築する必要があります。更新には次を実行してください:

portupgrade -rf -o emulators/linux_base-8 emulators/linux_base

In case you already use linux_base-8 you have to run:
すでにlinux_base-8を使用している場合、次を実行してください:

portupgrade -rf emulators/linux_base-8

commit log (of 1.128)

Say hello to the linux mega patch, it consolidates our linux bits a little bit and allows to proceed to a more recent linux_base from a stable (read as: the major bugs should be ironed out or identified and most linux ports build just fine) source.
It also allows to ship 4.11 with a working linuxolator (the EOLed linux_base is marked forbidden because of a security hole).
This is a major update, please read UPDATING (and CHANGES if you develop linux ports).
Changes:

  • change the default linux_base from v7 to v8
  • add a newer freetype to linux_base-8 for nicer fonts display [1]
  • don't let cpio use hardlinks in the linux_base-8 port to quiet some warnings in some cases [2]
  • fix a cut&past error in the linux_base-8 pkg-install script [3]
  • convert the binary knob "USE_LINUX" to a version specifier, e.g. USE_LINUX= specifies a dependency upon emulators/linux_base-, exceptions are a value of "7" (which does what you want and adds a dependency to linux_base) and any value without a corresponding port in PORTSDIR/emulators/linux_base- (which adds a dependency to the default linux_base)
  • don't implicitly add USE_LINUX with the USE_LINUX_PREFIX knob, this allows us to use the USE_LINUX_PREFIX knob for linux_base and paves the way for splitting up future linux base ports into individual pieces
  • remove RESTRICTED from some GPL licensed ports, even when we only distribute binaries, we get them from official linux sites, so anyone can grab them there if he needs to
  • add a dependency upon the linux X11 bits where necessary (based upon guesswork)
  • don't use USE_X_PREFIX in some linux ports since it adds a dependency to the FreeBSD X11 libs, as a workaround use PREFIX?= (the clean solution would be to remove the implicit USE_XLIB from USE_X_PREFIX)
  • bump the portrevision of the linux ports ("better safe than sorry" algorithm)
  • pass maintainership of the important linux infrastructure to a mailinglist, hijack freebsd-emulation@ for this purpose (if somebody doesn't like this: tell us your bikeshed color at freebsd-emulation@, my color would be "linuxolator@" in case someone cares...)
  • add a pkg-install script for linux-fontconfig, but don't use it; everything should work without it (the FreeBSD fc-cache program should do all the work), but in case we need it we just need to decomment the pkg-install part in the Makefile
  • fix some dependencies
  • fix some bugs
  • add some static plists
  • unbreak the ports with dependecies to more than one linux_base

This also fixes some ports which are marked BROKEN because of dependencies to v7 and v8 of linux_base at the same time.
Known bugs:

  • the linux-mesa and linux-devtools ports install libGL*.so symlinks
  • some "minor" plist bugs (e.g. ld.so.{conf,cache} are modified by the linux X11 port, so linx_Base-8 moans at deinstall time)

Future work (interested souls should coordinate with freebsd-emulation@):

  • add some kind of USE_LINUX_X11 knob to streamline the X11 dependencies, or modify the behavior of USE_XLIB in the USE_LINUX case AFAIK trevor has some patches.
  • make USE_XLIB and USE_X_PREFIX orthogonal to be able to get rid of the PREFIX?= workaround in some linux ports Should be discussed/coordinated on/with x11@.
  • move the RPM bits from x11-toolkits/linux-gtk/Makefile to PORTSDIR/Mk/
  • update to a more recent linux base
