    5.2.1-RELEASE

    I've started using 'portupgrade' to update several ports to the latest versions, but have an odd problem when it comes to certain ports.

    For example:

    server# pkg_version -v | grep Spam
    bsdpan-Mail-SpamAssassin-2.63 < needs updating (port has 2.63_2)

    server# portupgrade bsdpan-Mail-SpamAssassin
    ---> Skipping 'mail/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin' because it is held by user (specify -f to force)
    server# portupgrade -f bsdpan-Mail-SpamAssassin

    So I use the -f flag to force, and get several errors like:

    ===> p5-MIME-Base64-3.01 is already installed
          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 converters/p5-MIME-Base64
          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/converters/p5-MIME-Base64.
    *** Error code 1

    Stop in /usr/ports/security/p5-Digest.
    *** Error code 1

    Stop in /usr/ports/security/p5-Digest-SHA1.
    *** Error code 1

    Stop in /usr/ports/security/p5-Digest-HMAC.
    *** Error code 1

    Stop in /usr/ports/dns/p5-Net-DNS.
    *** Error code 1

    Stop in /usr/ports/mail/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin.
    ** Command failed [exit code 1]: /usr/bin/script -qa /tmp/portupgrade64155.0 make
    ** Fix the problem and try again.
    ** Listing the failed packages (*:skipped / !:failed)
            ! mail/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin (bsdpan-Mail-SpamAssassin-2.63) (unknown build error)
    ---> Packages processed: 0 done, 0 ignored, 0 skipped and 1 failed

    I can successfully "install Mail::SpamAssassin" using cpan, but it never seems to show up as the latest version (always seems to need upgrading when looking at pkg_version).

    Are there are two different ways to install (for example) SpamAssassin (and other perl related ports)?

    I can use cpan OR the pkg_add / portupgrade commands but not both?

    Thanks,
    Chris
