I need some pointers: "How do I deinstall a port that has been updated?" Specifically: ------------- ja-netscape-communicator-4.07 was installed as a port in 1998-December. Today I tried to deinstall this port, then later I plan to install Netscape NAVIGATOR 4.5 Here is what happened: -------------------- # cd /usr/ports/japanese # cd netscape4-communicator # make deinstall ==> deinstalling for ja-netscape-communicator-4.08 pkg_delete: no such package 'ja-netscape-communicator-4.08' installed ** Error code 1 -------------------- I examined the 'Makefile' and searched the mailing list archives, but it is not clear how best to proceed with this. In advance, "thank you" for your consideration and suggestions.
