A bit puzzled
I have a problem with apache22 loading and decided before doing anything else
that I would upgrade apache22 recursively to rebuild all ports upon which it
depened and which depend upon apache.
The (to me) logical command was:
dns1# portupgrade -frR apache22
Which generated the following:
[Exclude up-to-date packages done]
Man portupgrade shows:
-f
--force Force the upgrade of a package even if it is to be
a downgrade or just a reinstall of the same ver-
sion, or the port is held by user using the
HOLD_PKGS variable in pkgtools.conf.
I do not want to exclude packages that appear to be up-to-date. Where is this
limitation on force set?
