Recently, any package I install via the ports collection gets this error:
<package name> is already installed - perhaps an older version?
If so, 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 imap-uw-2002c1,1
without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER"
in your environment or the "make install" command line.
And this is with new packages that have never been installed or new
revisions of packages. So, something got corrupted somewhere; just not
sure where.
I have the pkg tools installed, but ran that to fix and it still happens.
