Howdy,

I just noticed the pkg_version command the other day, and thought I
would try it out.  I semi-regularly update my ports tree (via cvsup),
so I was not really surprised to see that serveral things have newer
versions.

So I have a few questions:

1) Is there a prescribed way to update librarys/applications that have
newer versions in the ports tree?

For instance I discovered that ImageMagik wouldn't install with
libtool-1.3.4, but it would with libtool-1.3.4_2.

I tried to deinstall libtool-1.3.4 but was told that there are many
applications currently using it.  So I did a make install for
1.3.4_2.  It install correctly, ImageMagik installed, and everything
looks kosher.

Except that now I have:

libtool-1.3.4       Generic shared library support script
libtool-1.3.4_2     Generic shared library support script

In my pkg_info list.

2) Do I really have 2 versions of the library?  (Looking in the
directory /usr/local/bin, I find only one version.

3) How can I "purge" the other entry from my pkg_info list?


Thanks!

Mike
