next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
Why, when I do "portupgrade libwmf", do I get this error?
===> Installing for libxml2-2.4.11
===> libxml2-2.4.11 is already installed - perhaps an older version?
If so, 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 libxml2-2.4.11
without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER"
in your environment or the "make install" command line.
*** Error code 1
Because when I did "portupgrade -nR libwmf" it didn't say it needed
libxml2. I managed to get it to work by doing
"FORCE_PKG_REGISTER=t portupgrade libwmf" as sort-of suggested.
"pkgdb -F" showed no problems. I hadn't done "portsdb -Uu" since
the ports cvsup.
