OK. I am trying to install portupgrade (I do not use X) from the ports but
after I make install I get the following error:
------------
===> db43-4.3.29 is already installed
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 databases/db43
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/databases/db43.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/databases/ruby-bdb.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade.
-------------
Why is it complaining about db43? Yes, I have it allready installed before
with installation of Cyrus-imapd. Shouldn't it just ignore if it is
allready installed?
