--- Comment #9 from chris@mumac.de ---
I just read the few existing comments and commit logs again. And again. And
eventually it occurred to me that this is exclusively about pkg and package
management and the believe that the "ports reinstall" sequence is broken. T=
hus,
there had to be a way considered to be correct for pkg to reinstall somethi=
ng,
and there is: pkg install -f ...

IMHO, it's unfortunate that this was released without a corresponding fix to
the ports project. For others who are wondering how reinstall an installed
package from ports:

- run "make package" in ports
- run "pkg install -f /usr/ports/packages/..."

Would it be possible to consider mapping the "make reinstall" target to doi=
ng
something along those lines as well?
