Empirical observation: environments that currently have an older installation of graphics/netpbm already installed, and where the intent is to update graphics/netpbm to netpbm-10.80.00 by building the port in the environment with the older netpbm already installed (e.g., make, portmaster, and portupgrade -- not within a jail or a chroot) may benefit from deleting the old installed version before attempting the in-place update.
Disclaimer: That's what worked for me, using portmaster. In a couple of days, I expect to be updating at least one system from custom-built packages (built using poudriere); I expect that this will Just Work (without the evasive maneuver of a preemptive "pkg delete -f graphics/netpbm"). And there's another system I expect to update that same day -- rather isolated from everything else -- where I expect to use portmaster, and will need to perform said preemptive evasive maneuver. I mention it in the hope that the information will reduce the time spent trying to figure this out: time is not one of the "more renewable resources" we have. Peace, david -- David H.
