>Description:
pkg_version -c outputs commands to run to update your packages..
Before deleting the old version, it does nothing to ensure that the new
package can be installed. Result: you can be stuck without your old version
and the new version not compiling.
>How-To-Repeat:
Run commands from pkg_version -c blindly (i.e. by a script) when one of the
ports that it is going to update is broken.
>Fix:
Patch follows:
