I've started using 'portupgrade' to update several ports to the latest=
versions, but have an odd problem when it comes to certain ports.
For example:
server# pkg_version -v | grep Spam
bsdpan-Mail-SpamAssassin-2.63 < needs updating (port has 2.63_2)
server# portupgrade bsdpan-Mail-SpamAssassin
---> Skipping 'mail/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin' because it is held by user=
(specify -f to force)
server# portupgrade -f bsdpan-Mail-SpamAssassin
So I use the -f flag to force, and get several errors like:
=3D=3D=3D> p5-MIME-Base64-3.01 is already installed
You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again
by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly.
If you really wish to overwrite the old port of=
converters/p5-MIME-Base64
without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER"
in your environment or the "make install" command line.

I can successfully "install Mail::SpamAssassin" using cpan, but it never=
seems to show up as the latest version (always seems to need upgrading=
when looking at pkg_version).
Are there are two different ways to install (for example) SpamAssassin (and=
other perl related ports)?
I can use cpan OR the pkg_add / portupgrade commands but not both?
Thanks,
Chris
