Nothing to worry about. The problem is simply that the version number for the newest version of the pdksh port (5.2.14.p2) is counted as "older" than the old version number (5.2.14) by pkg_version. So the bug is in the version number given to the latest update of the pdksh port and not in anything you did. -- <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
