portmaster packages and perl upgrade

[Douglas Berry]

I use portmaster on a build machine to make packages, copying /var/db/ports,
and /usr/local/etc/ports.conf to all clients, and NFS mounting /usr/ports on
the clients.

Following UPDATING to do the perl upgrade on the build machine worked fine.
When I go to any of the clients, it seems portmaster gets confused,
here's a log....

# portmaster -o lang/perl5.12 lang/perl5.10

===>>> Port directory: /usr/ports/lang/perl5.12
===>>> Gathering dependency list for lang/perl5.12 from ports
===>>> No dependencies for lang/perl5.12

===>>> Starting install for lang/perl5.12 <<<===

===>>> The newest available package (perl-5.10.1_2)
       is older than the version in ports (perl-5.12.1)

===>>> Try --packages-if-newer, or do not use -PP/--packages-only

# grep PERL /etc/make.conf

Has anyone else managed to do this?

Thanks for any help,
