Not directly, no. The way to do it straight from the ports tree is to remove the "PortA" *first* (with "pkg delete -f"), and then install "PortB". You end up losing the dependency information that PortA had formerly had, but things will work. Upgrade tools (pkg, portmaster, portupgrade, at least) have a "-o" option that fixes up the dependency information. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
