However, when I run: portupgrade -o lang/perl5.10 -f perl-5.8\.* I get this problem: ---> Upgrading 'perl-5.8.9_3' to 'perl-5.10.1' (lang/perl5.10) ---> Building '/usr/ports/lang/perl5.10' ===> Cleaning for perl-5.10.1 ===> perl-5.10.1 conflicts with installed package(s): perl-5.8.9_3 They install files into the same place. Please remove them first with pkg_delete(1). *** Error code 1 I supposed I could do a forced manual removal of perl, but isn't that what the '-f' arg in the portupgrade is supposed to do? > -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tim Daneliuk tundra@tundraware.com PGP Key: http://www.tundraware.com/PGP/
