Howdy list,
Sorry if this is an obvious question, but I didn't
find anything in the portupgrade manpage.
I'm in the process of upgrading the ports on my 5.1-RELEASE
laptop, and I just executed the following command:
portupgrade -R 'grip*'
And it's giving me the following message:
----------------------------------------------
===> Checking if x11/libgnome already installed
===> An older version of x11/libgnome is already installed (libgnome-2.2.0.1)
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 x11/libgnome
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/x11/libgnome.
*** Error code 1
------------------------------------------------
Now, I know how to get around this manually:
pkg_delete -f 'libgnome-*'
And then rerun `portupgrade -R 'grip*'`.
However, is there a way to automate this process? It's
happened three times already on this one port, and I'm
getting a bit annoyed. I was hoping it would be done
the first time I came back from lunch. :)
Thanks!
