Hello, Having successfully completed my update from Xorg 6.9 to Xorg 7.2, I decided to install a few things, one of which required devel/bison2 instead of bison. Usually, portupgrade -o would handle this for me, but lately it seems like portupgrade -o doesn't want to replace ports. Has anyone else noticed this or is there a known workaround/fix?

I'm using portupgrade-devel instead of portupgrade. Thanks, Josh -- Josh Tolbert hemi@puresimplicity.net || http://www.puresimplicity.net/~hemi/ Security is mostly a superstition.
