Imagine you have some version of a port installed (say, bison-1.75). Try to install newer version of bison (say, 1.875) from ports. The following message is displayed: ===> Installing for bison-1.875 ===> bison-1.875 is already installed - perhaps an older version? ============^^^^^ If so, 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 bison-1.875 ============================================================^^^^^ without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER" in your environment or the "make install" command line. This message incorrectly states I have bison-1.875 installed.
