I think you can solve both of these problems with the same technique. Using portupgrade's -o option, you can replace on port with another. For example: portupgrade -o www/apache22 apache Will replace whatever version of apache you've got installed with Apache-2.2, including rearranging any required dependencies so they point to the new port. Usually, when I have problems with portupgrade like you describe, it's because some already installed port requires something I don't want as a dependency. The above trick has fixed it every time for me. -- Bill Moran Collaborative Fusion Inc. IMPORTANT: This message contains confidential information and is intended only for the individual named.
