Thank you. It is funny I have already tried this but in the other
direction e.g.
pkg set -o databases/postgresql90-client:databases/postgresql93-client
I guess I did that because it was that way with the old portmaster.
This trick helped me with postgresql, but not with perl. Here is the
problem:
pkg set -o lang/perl5.16:lang/perl5.12
pkg upgrade
Then I still get these messages:
pkg: WARNING: locally installed perl-5.12.4_4 conflicts on
/usr/local/man/man1/xsubpp.1.gz with:
- perl5-5.16.3_9
Which is silly because the locally installed perl is NOT 5.12 but 5.14:
root@backup:/usr/ports # perl -version
This is perl 5, version 14, subversion 4 (v5.14.4) built for amd64-freebsd
And hey, perl5.12 is not under ports/lang anymore. What can I do with this?
(And still don't understand that if this conflict is an error, then why
am I getting warnings only?)
