-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 So what is the correct, fail-safe, guaranteed to work syntax to upgrade a port? I keeping thinking that passing the "u" argument would do it but not so much. port upgrade <some port> fails, if there are dependencies, regardless of the presence of the "u." I have to use "f" and it doesn't seem right that I should have to force something that is supposed to be possible without it. the last message I saw on this suggested using -ufn. this unpacks as "upgrade" "force" "no dependencies." Why isn't just "u" sufficient? - -- Paul Beard contact info: www.paulbeard.org/paulbeard.vcf pictures: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pdb206/ Are you trying to win an argument or solve a problem? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (Darwin) iD8DBQFGGCMsfHLPwpj1/JQRAmWuAKCt4PrKczo1mn19uyvwVlwac7aZ1ACcCLBV jB6k/3fPZ8uC1M2lSqwdDLI= =YR1J -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
