Description bugg 1999-12-06 00:00:01 UTC 
pkg_version -c outputs commands to run to update your packages..
Before deleting the old version, it does nothing to ensure that the new
package can be installed.  Result: you can be stuck without your old version
and the new version not compiling.

Fix: Patch follows:
How-To-Repeat: Run commands from pkg_version -c blindly (i.e. by a script) when one of the
ports that it is going to update is broken.
