Simultaneously two versions of one port?

[Pascal Groenen]

Dear Thom,

What I do when something like this happens is:

either, 'cd'  to the port that is causing the problem, devel/py-orbit2, in 
this case and type 'make deinstall', than go back to your original port and 
issue a make again

or, 'cd' to the port that is causing the problem, devel/py-orbit2, in this 
case and type 'make -DFORCE_PKG_REGISTER install clean'. This forces an 
upgrade of the troublesome port, but may result in a double registered port. 
This can be checked by issuing 'pkgdb -F'

Good luck,

Pascal
