This is a long-standing issue that the Python team is aware of. In fact, it does not only have an impact on python ports, but on all ports. The root cause is pkg_add, which uses the PKGORIGIN to detect, whether the port is installed. Since py32-setuptools and py27-setuptools both share the same PKGORIGIN (devel/py-setuptools), pkg_add fails. pkg shares the same problem by checking for the PKGORIGIN record, so a switch to pkg would not help you either. Right now there is no solution at hand for that problem, but we are working on it. --KsGdsel6WgEHnImy Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAlKxVJkACgkQi68/ErJnpkdz0ACcCiD6gv9uk3FHJz0zc4LomKKV uCwAn20mAx/wsu2U38pgHT4T+2JSn7pz =vwIe -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --KsGdsel6WgEHnImy--
