Hi Brooks, Both old and new package will be installed in version specific directories, so no overlap will occur and the versions can be used and run simultaneously. The problem is how to detect whether portupgrade is being used to run the pkg_delete, or whether pkg_delete is being run directly from the command line. Is this supported, or is there some good or recommended way of doing this? Nick
