Hello wise and superior FreeBSD users, I beg for you guidance and wisdom. I have been trying to install Apache and a Text editor,but I cant due to pkg_add: warning: package 'emacs-23.3_6,2' requires 'pcre-8.20', but 'pcre-8.31' is installed. This is just one of many error messages,if someone could point me in the right direction,I would be greatly appreciative. Below is the full message when I try to download emacs
Code: 
> sudo pkg_add -r emacs

Most or all of those warnings mean the dependencies are more upto date than when the package was built [good news, so to speak]. You can ignore them, but the package may not run well, run at all, etc, meaning find a later package or build from the port tree... OTOH most of the time there should not be an issue. [I'd suspect in this case, png, cairo... may mean emacs should be built manually , or maybe you need /emacs/ (v24)
 
You're installing 'old' packages-9.0-release packages. They are never updated.
 
Thanks guys, I should have suspected that was the problem. SirDice excuse my ignorance, but is there a work around for installing old' packages-9.0-release packages,or is port tree builds the fix?
Thanks again for your help, much appreciated and very thankful.
 
Thanks for the help SirDice. After 3 days of updating; everything is up to date,except for php and kdelibs. I think while updating everything, I deleted my xorg.conf and due to that I lost my mouse, anyway the fix was to just add
Code: 
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver     "mouse"
EndSection


incase anyone else has the same problem
and everything is working fine now.
Thanks again for all your help
