when you deinstall an old port, it's quite possible that files from new port will also be deleeted. in that case, you will need to re-install that new port. just be careful of "-f" (force) option of pkg_delete or pkg_deinstall. pay attention to any message which says along the lines of "checksum mismatch, deleted anyway". in that case, see above. - parv -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
