I want to upgrade the version of libiconv that is in this
machine (PC running freebsd 5.1). So, I try pkg_add:
daffy# pkg_add libiconv-1.9.1_3.tgz
pkg_add: package 'libiconv-1.9.1_3' or its older version already
installed
daffy#
Ok then, I force it to be installed (-f option). All I get in the end
is *two* entries of libiconv according to pkg_info:
daffy# pkg_info
XFree86-FontServer-4.3.0_1 XFree86-4 font server
XFree86-NestServer-4.3.0_1 XFree86-4 nested X server
[...]
libiconv-1.8_2 A character set conversion library
libiconv-1.9.1_3 A character set conversion library
Why can't it put the latest version in place of the older one? I
even tried to uninstall the old one first:
daffy# pkg_delete libiconv-1.8_2
pkg_delete: package 'libiconv-1.8_2' is required by these other packages
and may not be deinstalled:
gettext-0.11.5_1
gmake-3.80
lynx-2.8.5d14
daffy#
but, as you can see, it does not seem to like that. Someone
suggested me to install portupgrade as follows:
> cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade
> make install clean
> rehash
> <cvsup your ports tree>
> portupgrade libiconv
>
> should do all you need. :)

I did the above, but ended up having two instances of libiconv:
daffy# pkg_info
[...]
imake-1.0 Imake and other utilities from XFree86
imake-4.3.0 Imake and other utilities from XFree86
jpeg-6b_1 IJG's jpeg compression utilities

libiconv-1.9.1_3 A character set conversion library

libtool-1.3.5_1 Generic shared library support script

How come?
