Thanks to all for pointing to this.
However, when I run:
portupgrade -o lang/perl5.10 -f perl-5.8\.*
I get this problem:
---> Upgrading 'perl-5.8.9_3' to 'perl-5.10.1' (lang/perl5.10)
---> Building '/usr/ports/lang/perl5.10'
===> Cleaning for perl-5.10.1
===> perl-5.10.1 conflicts with installed package(s):
perl-5.8.9_3
They install files into the same place.
Please remove them first with pkg_delete(1).
*** Error code 1
I supposed I could do a forced manual removal of perl, but isn't that what the '-f'
arg in the portupgrade is supposed to do?
