Hello,

I was reading the man page on pkg_info and then I tried testing what it 
can do...When it gave me the output, it seems that some of my installed 
ports has 2 versions...What can I do with those ports?  Can I just 
pkg_delete or make deinstall the old versions? Or do I have to do 
something before doing everything? Or just leave them alone?

Thank you for any advice in advance...
