Simultaneously two versions of one port?

[Thomas Beer]

Dear All,

I'm trying to install gdesklets which depends on
py24-orbit. However, py23-orbit is already
installed. I googled and tryed various ways
with portupgrade et al. What to do?

Thanks Tom

     You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again
     by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly.
     If you really wish to overwrite the old port of devel/py-orbit2
     without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER"
     in your environment or the "make install" command line.
