>Description:

Imagine you have some version of a port installed (say, bison-1.75).
Try to install newer version of bison (say, 1.875) from ports.

The following message is displayed:
===>  Installing for bison-1.875
===>  bison-1.875 is already installed - perhaps an older version?
============^^^^^
      If so, 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 bison-1.875
============================================================^^^^^
      without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER"
      in your environment or the "make install" command line.

This message incorrectly states I have bison-1.875 installed.
