need to upgrade portupgrade from 2.4.6 to 2.4.8

I've upgraded from FreeBSD 7.1 to 8.1-release, and in trying to update my ports I've run into a problem. Running [cmd=]portupgrade -af[/cmd] fails, but I've found a thread in the forums that explains that by upgrading portupgrade from 2.4.6 to 2.4.8 the problem will be resolved. Now I'm trying to figure out how to do that.

When I run
# pkg_add -r [url]ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8-stable/ports-mgmt/portupgrade-2.4.8_1,2.tbz[/url]
it downloads the new version, but then informs me that I've already got a version installed and doesn't install the new one. If I try to delete the existing portupgrade with # pkg_delete portupgrade-2.4.6 it tells me that there's no such package installed.

How can I do this upgrade? Thanks for any help.

Thanks - that worked. Unfortunately updating portupgrade did not solve the problem, so I'm trying with portmaster instead.
 
hi jtl,

try # make build-depends-list for portupgrade first, then do portupgrade those one by one and finally do # portupgrade -p portupgrade
