Hi,

I'm upgrading cacti, and it's failing on the net-snmp port.=20

=3D=3D=3D>  Installing for net-snmp-5.3.1_2
=3D=3D=3D>   net-snmp-5.3.1_2 depends on file: /usr/local/bin/perl5.8.8 - f=
ound
=3D=3D=3D>   Generating temporary packing list
=3D=3D=3D>  Checking if net-mgmt/net-snmp already installed
=3D=3D=3D>   An older version of net-mgmt/net-snmp is already installed
(net-snmp-5.2.3_4)
      You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again
      by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly.
      If you really wish to overwrite the old port of net-mgmt/net-snmp
      without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER"
      in your environment or the "make install" command line.
*** Error code 1

I'm confused. Of course an older version is installed, that's why it's call=
ed
an upgrade.=20

Why is this happening?=20

Thanks,
Mike
