make package problem

Hi,

If I try to do a make package or make package-recursive, and the port is
already installed, it always complains about that.  Can I make a package
without pkg_delete -f'ing the port first.  It doesn't seem to complain
about the dependencies though.

Here is a transcript of the error message:

root at hades:/usr/ports/ftp/lftp# make package-recursive
===>  Installing for lftp-3.2.1
===>   lftp-3.2.1 depends on shared library: intl - found
===>   Generating temporary packing list
===>  Checking if ftp/lftp already installed
===>   lftp-3.2.1 is already installed
      You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again
      by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly.
      If you really wish to overwrite the old port of ftp/lftp
      without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER"
      in your environment or the "make install" command line.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/ftp/lftp.
root at hades:/usr/ports/ftp/lftp# 

What can I do to fix this behaviour?

Regards,

-John
