>Description:
Sometimes a portinstall fails because a dependent ports is too old. However according to the man page all dependent ports / packages should
be updatet prior the installations. This doesn't seem to happen.
I recently tried to install Inn 2.4.1, which failed with the follwing
output:
===> Installing for gettext-0.13.1
===> Generating temporary packing list
===> Checking if devel/gettext already installed
===> An older version of devel/gettext is already installed (gettext-0.11.5_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 devel/gettext
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/devel/gettext.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/devel/gmake.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/news/inn.
** Command failed [exit code 1]: /usr/bin/script -qa /tmp/portinstall481.0 make -DWITH_TAGGED_HASH
** Fix the problem and try again.
** The following packages were not installed or upgraded (*:skipped / !:failed)
! news/inn (unknown build error)
>How-To-Repeat:
Just do some installation. It occurs sometimes.
>Fix:
Do what the man page says or explain to me what I'm missing :-)
