portupgrade/portinstall problem - Error

[Jamie]

   Sorry, in my example I didn't give the full path to the xworld port.
Should be:

grep PORTNAME /usr/ports/astro/xworld/Makefile

    The portname (the directory name) is probably inconsistent with the
PORTNAME in the Makefile for the port. To correct it, do this:

grep PORTNAME /usr/ports/astro/Makefile

    Then use the the value of PORTNAME with portinstall:

    portinstall xworld
