It's not correct, "pkg_delete -f" can force the deletion. I would manually upgrade a port like this: cd /usr/ports/misc/foo make ; do the build pkg_info -qO misc/foo ; get old package name pkg_create -b <old-package-name> ; backup existing package /usr/local/etc/rc.d/foo stop ; stop the daemon if needed pkg_delete -f <old-package-name> ; force removal make install /usr/local/etc/rc.d/foo start ; start the daemon if needed make clean rm <back-up package> _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
