The pkg-deinstall script used by many of the horde ports (including but not limited to imp, kronolith, gollem, ingo, mnemo, nag and turba) does not respect LHORDEDIR. As a result, the uninstall does not back up config files if LHORDEDIR was set to anything other than the default value. A portupgrade will therefore destroy any existing configuration that was not manually backed up. A little sed trickery is probably all that would be needed to correct this, but being only an amateur porter I'm unsure where/how to write this up for a patch. I'd like to see this fixed, and I'd be happy to submit a PR (with patches if I get time to figure out how it all works exactly) if this isn't already a quick fix for someone more experienced. Thanks, JN
