From: swear@blarg.net (Gary W.

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.
