:> Deinstall the package that was built for a later version of 
:> FreeBSD.

KrisHow do i tell which this is? Most of this box seems to be compiled
from ports, not installed packages. apache+ipv6 is not installed.

~ $ pkg_info
ImageMagick-nox11-6.0.2.7 Image processing tools
analog-6.0_1,1      An extremely fast program for analysing WWW logfiles
pkg_info: read_plist: bad command '@conflicts apache+ipv6-1.*'
~

I rebuilt analog from ports but that doesnt seem to be it.

Thanks for your continued help.
