Upgrade ports is easy, using portupgrade. Even portupgrade can upgrade it’s own program 🙂
The problem come with error message ‘xxxx already installed’, how to overcome this problem?
Answer: read the guide 🙂
kongja# portupgrade p5-libwww-5.79_1
—> Upgrading ‘p5-libwww-5.79_1’ to ‘p5-libwww-5.803’ (www/p5-libwww)
—> Building ‘/usr/ports/www/p5-libwww’

bla…bla..bla
===> Checking if net/p5-URI already installed
===> p5-URI-1.35 is already installed
You may wish to “make deinstall” and install this port again
“make reinstall” to upgrade it properly.
If you really wish to overwrite the old port of net/p5-URI
without deleting it first, set the variable “FORCE_PKG_REGISTER”
in your environment or the “make install” command line.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/net/p5-URI.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/www/p5-libwww.

wow, check if the ports already installed
kongja# pkg_info | grep p5-URI
p5-URI-1.35 Perl5 interface to Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) refere
ouch, its real the ports aleady installed
try edit make file
kongja# cd /usr/ports/www/p5-libwww/
kongja# ee Makefile
found this stuff :
BUILD_DEPENDS= ${SITE_PERL}/URI.pm:${PORTSDIR}/net/p5-URI \
${SITE_PERL}/${PERL_ARCH}/Digest/MD5.pm:${PORTSDIR}/security/p5-Digest-MD5 \
${SITE_PERL}/${PERL_ARCH}/Compress/Zlib.pm:${PORTSDIR}/archivers/p5-Compress-Zlib
{SITE_PERL}/${PERL_ARCH}/MIME/Base64.pm:${PORTSDIR}/converters/p5-MIME-Base64 \

${SITE_PERL}/${PERL_ARCH}/HTML/Parser.pm:${PORTSDIR}/www/p5-HTML-Parser
RUN_DEPENDS= ${BUILD_DEPENDS}
try to edit after making backup first
kongja# cp Makefile Makefile_old
kongja# ee Makefile
coba lagi portupgrade
kongja# portupgrade p5-libwww-5.79_1
still same error message
after reading and bit googling, this command issued :
kongja# portupgrade -m FORCE_PKG_REGISTER=1 p5-libwww-5.79_1
