Correct, it doesn't. Unfortunately anyone using binary package upgrades is stuffed, and the best we can hope for is that they read UPDATING or the recent threads on ports@. Reason for inability to fix this for pkg upgrade; Source upgrade procedure: build, deinstall, install- we can fail building to stop this problem. Binary upgrade: fetch new version, reinstall, install- too late by the time package is installed. If you come up with a solution, please let me know! Chris
