5.2.1-RELEASE I've started using 'portupgrade' to update several ports to the latest versions, but have an odd problem when it comes to certain ports. For example: server# pkg_version -v | grep Spam bsdpan-Mail-SpamAssassin-2.63 < needs updating (port has 2.63_2) server# portupgrade bsdpan-Mail-SpamAssassin ---> Skipping 'mail/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin' because it is held by user (specify -f to force) server# portupgrade -f bsdpan-Mail-SpamAssassin So I use the -f flag to force, and get several errors like: ===> p5-MIME-Base64-3.01 is already installed You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly. If you really wish to overwrite the old port of converters/p5-MIME-Base64 without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER" in your environment or the "make install" command line. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/converters/p5-MIME-Base64. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/security/p5-Digest. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/security/p5-Digest-SHA1. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/security/p5-Digest-HMAC. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/dns/p5-Net-DNS. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/mail/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin. ** Command failed [exit code 1]: /usr/bin/script -qa /tmp/portupgrade64155.0 make ** Fix the problem and try again. ** Listing the failed packages (*:skipped / !:failed) ! mail/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin (bsdpan-Mail-SpamAssassin-2.63) (unknown build error) ---> Packages processed: 0 done, 0 ignored, 0 skipped and 1 failed I can successfully "install Mail::SpamAssassin" using cpan, but it never seems to show up as the latest version (always seems to need upgrading when looking at pkg_version). Are there are two different ways to install (for example) SpamAssassin (and other perl related ports)? I can use cpan OR the pkg_add / portupgrade commands but not both?
