I seem to be getting myself in trouble repeatedly...I'm sure someone can
help...
Fresh install of 6.0 RC1, gnome 2.12 from marcus's tb, freshly cvsupped
ports. I need to install some little apps like gaim and pan. when
running 'make install clean' for these ports i'll get a message that the
correct version of port X is not installed. Problem is make says i need
a newer version but the version numbers indicate i've got a newer
version than what its looking for. Then a little part about
'FORCE_PACKAGE_REGISTER.' There is an example of this below this
message. If i use this it will install the older version of the
dependencies or at least register them. I say this on the last system
that i hosed...2 copies of the same package would be registered. Not
good. How should i *properly* install these ports? As in what's not
going to get me in trouble?

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 devel/glib20
without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER"
in your environment or the "make install" command line.

Thanks for the help. Loving my BSD laptop so far...just straightening
some things out.
