I just upgraded to 5-STABLE from an older version of 5, and wanted to rebuild all my ports because of the ABI compatability breakage just before 5-RELEASE. I ran across behavior in portupgrade that I don't understand - if I force an upgrade because I already have the same version installed, portupgrade refuses to use packages. e.g. ---> Found a package of 'net/cvsup-without-gui': cvsup-without-gui-16.1h.tbz (cvsup-without-gui-16.1h) ---> Located a package version 16.1h (cvsup-without-gui-16.1h.tbz) ** Ignoring the package, which is the same version as is installed (16.1h) ** No package available: net/cvsup-without-gui What on earth is wrong with portupgrade, and is there any way of convincing it to use packages in this case? If I run 'portupgrade -rafP' it will merrily upgrade via ports when forcing an upgrade, so why not packages?
