Thanks Kent and Matthew.

Now I know the way to manipulate the actions of portupgrade for not
upgrading everything.
I just posted earlier another question for portupgrade not being able to
upgrade
the installed apache-1.3.27_4 to apache-1.3.28

Some applications ( phpMyAdmin, mod_php4, mod_fastcgi ) that depends on
apache could not be
upgraded either.

I tried to portupgrade -rR apache but after a series of compilation, it
failed.

Here I would like to repost the error messages ( snip some ) and hope that
someone can help me.

I wonder if I should uninstall them all first and then portupgrade -N
....( apache-1.3.28, mod_php4, mod_fastcgi, phpMyAdmin )

or I can just do portupgrade -f to force it update to the newer version ?

Thank you again!
