I sync the ports collection regularly and endeavour to keep my system up to date. When packages are reported as out of date, I try to reinstall them, with this sequence: /usr/ports/XXXX: make deinstall /usr/ports/XXXX: make reinstall However, "make deinstall" invariably seems to report that the package is not found since it's looking for the new version, not the one I have installed. I therefore find myself reinstalling the new version and thinking about deleting the old versions entries from /var/db/pkgs. This doesn't feel quite right, can someone help me refine my process ?
