OK, now what am I doing wrong?  Can anyone explain this?

blacklamb# portupgrade -pNn net/wol
--->  Session started at: Tue, 09 Mar 2004 15:43:14 -0800
Install 'net/wol'? [no]
** No package has been installed or upgraded.
--->  Session ended at: Tue, 09 Mar 2004 15:43:15 -0800 (consumed 00:00:00)

OK, good.  It found the port and now I'd like to install it so I remove 
the 'n' and run again:

blacklamb# portupgrade -pN net/wol
blacklamb#

And that's it.  Nothing happens.  So I try removing the 'N' and using 
the portinstall command:

blacklamb# portinstall -pn net/wol       
--->  Session started at: Tue, 09 Mar 2004 15:47:53 -0800
Install 'net/wol'? [no]
** No package has been installed or upgraded.
--->  Session ended at: Tue, 09 Mar 2004 15:47:54 -0800 (consumed 00:00:00)

OK, that's the same so I try again without the 'n':

blacklamb# portinstall -p net/wol
blacklamb#

Same error.  So what have I done wrong?

Thanks,

Drew
