First of all, do not cross-post to multiple mailing lists. This is considered rude/bad practise. Second -- yes, you should definitely uninstall 1.1 before installing 1.2. The ports/package management system should not let you install both at the same time. If uninstalling said package will impact service in some way, you need to take steps to mitigate impact before doing the uninstall. That's outside of the scope of a package management system. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
