Hi,
I was trying to install Gnumeric and it keeps failing, saying that it can't update ports that are already installed. I'm using 'portmaster --force-config -i /usr/ports/math/gnumeric' so that with the -i option I can tell it NOT to update ports that are already installed... yet this is why the build keeps failing. I get something like the error (can't recall the exact wording):
'Make failed for port /usr/ports/foo/bar: already isntalled. If you wish to update it, do 'make deinstall' and reinstall the port'.
Something like that, anyway. My question is why gnumeric is trying to update those ports if each time portmaster asks 'should I update /usr/ports/foo/bar [y]?' I type 'n'.
Thanks for any thoughts.
