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? Regards, Sasa
