Hi,

I want to upgrade my KDE 2.0 to KDE 2.0.1.  www.freebsd.org says there's a
port for 2.0.1, but the kde2.tar file it references doesn't exist
on ftp.freebsd.org.  There is a directory called kde2, though, which has
what I'm guessing would be the contents of that tar file (ie. it looks
like my /usr/ports/x11/kde2 directory, but it's 2.0.1 rather than 2.0).  I
tried grabbing the directory and sticking it into /usr/ports/x11, but when
I make install it sees my existing 2.0 installation, thinks its prereqs
are met (it's a "meta-port"), and doesn't upgrade my stuff. However, 
pkg_info now returns a line for kde-2.0.1 as well as kde-2.0.

Please, bring on the cluestick beating.

Thanks
Adam
