excuse the n00b in me but I'm trying to install a port using portmanager

I have synced my ports as of today morning and tried to launch:
# portmanager deskutils/taskjuggler -l -f

the thing is, portmanager kicks out and tries to reinstall lang/perl5.8,
although it had reinstalled it earlier and I'm sure I have perl 5.8.8
installed already!. I'm not sure if this is a normal behaviour of
portmanager? But I will keep on monitoring it and see if it all goes
well


You are telling 'portmanager' to rebuild your entire system when you use
the '-f' switch.

To install just this one port, run the program like this:

portmanager deskutils/taskjuggler -l -y
I did that and here is the latest output I got from portmanager:

Should I update the dependencies manually? Isn't portmanager supposed to
"update" those dependencies?

If you have 'portupgrade' installed, you might want to run 'portsclean':

portsclean -C -L

first to make sure that you have cleaned out any old work before
starting a new installation.

I did that and it cleaned some stuff :) Thanks for sharing the
information.
