I usually only see this error with ports we've written in-house.
Usually
it happens because the dependency check on a specific file is bad.
The
check fails, which causes the port to believe it needs to install
the
dependency, but the package registry gets upset because the
package is
already installed and it doesn't think it needs to be reinstalled.
If these are real ports, you might want to report the brokenness.
You'll
probably find that you can FORCE_PKG_REGISTER=1 and leave it at that
(though I typically treat it as a last resort and instead opt for
fixing
the port).

I wrote this but gmail default reply is not reply-all
go to the openssl port and run make replace and it should replace
base but I actually don't really suggest it.
since I don't really see a need to even from wireshark which I have
installed without overwriting openssl_base

Matt, Chris,
First off, thanks for taking the time to reply :-)
I am afraid however, that you have completely lost me.
This is not the first time I have installed a port, and the
reccommendation
to use 'FORCE_PACKAGE_REGISTER" has been seen. Unfortunately, I have
no idea
what port you guys are suggesting is really broken, is it the
OpenSSL_Overwrite_Base or the one I am trying to install?
If it is the OpenSSL one, can you explain in simple terms how I
should deal
with it?
If you use FORCE_PACKAGE_REGISTER=yes and it still fails take a look
to see what is actually installed.
pkg_info -ia | grep Open_SSL
The suggest installing portupgrade. Once that's complete you can
portupgrade the port related to Open_SSL to see if that steps around
the issue.
m!
