--- Comment #10 from jsmith@resonatingmedia.com ---
I ran into this problem too where trying to upgrade any installed package
through ports would result in "make reinstall" throwing error 70.

This is all the more frustrating because running "make install" specifically
tells the user to run "make reinstall" which will always fail. I think the
"make reinstall" command should probably, instead of simply failing with er=
ror
70, tell the user something like: "Run 'make package ; pkg install -f
work/pkg/package-name"

Alternatively it would be nice if "make reinstall" did that automatically, =
so
"make reinstall" functioned as an alias for "make package; pkg install -f".
This would best reflect what the user was trying to do.
