(mutt-devel port is just an example below; it happens w/ any other
port in similar scenario.)


i installed mutt-devel & created a mutt-1.5.1 package.  after
de installing it and trying to do pkg_add, i get the following
error...

  # pkg_add ./mutt-devel-1.5.1.tgz
  pkg_add: could not find package libslang-1.4.5 !
  pkg_add: could not find package libiconv-1.8 !
  pkg_add: could not find package gettext-0.11.2 !
  pkg_add: could not find package expat-1.95.3 !
  pkg_add: could not find package cyrus-sasl-1.5.27_4 !

...though i don't have those particular ports installed, i sure do
have the ports which come darn close to the list...

  libslang-1.4.3
  libiconv-1.7.0.1
  gettext-0.11.1_3
  expat-1.95.2
  cyrus-sasl-1.5.27_2

...it is not easy or practical to always upgrade the installed ports
whenever pkg_add fails.  the only choice, if there is one, that
remains is of re-building & re-installing the port.


is there a way to workaround the problem w/o the rebuild/reinstall
process so that pkg_add would work w/ already installed ports?
