Different versions of each database/postgresql-* port are always installed into the same place regardless of PostgreSQL version. So they must be marked as conflicting with any versions of themselves. In general, each port with dinamically generated version, that is installed in the same place regardless of version, conflicts with all other versions of itself. Fix: Porters handbook says: Please make sure that CONFLICTS does not match this port's package itself, or else forcing its installation with FORCE_PKG_REGISTER will no longer work. .. but it worked just fine when I tested it. Re-check, please, and submit a PR to docs if this statement in handbook is outdated - this can really simplify setting of CONFLICTS variable. If I'm correct, then just add to all databases/postgresql-*/Makefile a line like that: CONFLICTS=${PORTNAME}${PKGNAMESUFFIX}-* .. unless the idea of port conflicting with itself offends your delicate sence of logic. :) Current ports .mk scripts correctly detect that packet is already installed, I checked. If I'm wrong (or the sence was offended :) ), there are two ways to fix the bug. 1. Construct a string from version, enclosing each character into '[!' and ']': version -> [!v][!e][!r][!s][!i][!o][!n] That's proper shell-globbing expression to say "any name except 'version'". Make is incapable of doing such fine character manipulations, AFAIK, so you will have to use an external program. 2. Add version to the installation path. How-To-Repeat: Install databases/postgresql80-client port. Install databases/postgresql-docs port. This installs postgresql-docs-8.0.* package. Deinstall databases/postgresql80-client port. Install databases/postgresql81-client port. Install databases/postgresql-docs. This installs postgresql-docs-8.1.* package ON TOP of postgresql-docs-8.0.* package! This can be done with any of databases/postgresql-* ports.

Hi! The problem is that a port cannot conflict with itself. Hence all postgresql slave ports that install different version depending on the installation of postgresql-client will never conflict. Here's the relevant rows in Mk/bsd.ports.mk: 3635: if [ "/${PREFIX}" = "/$${prfx}" -a "/${PKGORIGIN}" != "/$${orgn}" ]; then \ 3636: conflicts_with="$${conflicts_with} $${entry}"; \ 3637: fi; \ I think I will have to think of some way to handle this. None of your suggestions really help, unfortunately, since the only way I can think of is to create separate ports for each version of the docs, or to do some better magic in bsd.ports.mk. The latter would be preferred, I think, but I'm not sure. /Palle

The latter would be preferred, I think, but I'm not > sure. After some thinking I realized, that the problem I reported concerns postgresql-docs only! Other postgresql-* ports depend on postgresql-client-* and will be deinstalled with it. postgresql-docs doesn't - so it won't. I strongly believe that installing in a path with postgresql version number included will solve the problem. (Different versions of docs doesn't conflict as long as they are in separate folders.) Approximate patch for do-install and post-install targets included. Is it that simple or am I missing something?
