I did an update from 12.1 to 12.3 and I’m in the course of rebuilding /usr/posts/emulators/virtualbox-ose. Although I also did a ports update it occurs in a lot of places that a dependency turns out to be newer than the installed one. E.g. it happened the first time with gmake. It is suggested to do a make deinstall make reinstall The make install of virtualbox-ose now gets interrupted in all places where the installed tool (e.g. qt5-qmake) is older than the updated one in ports. I then have to go into that directory (qt5-qmake for exmple) and do the make deinstall,make reinstall manually. Since I#ll have to anticipate probably a large number of such situations, I’m thinking of doing this deinstall/reinstall sequence automatically beforehand. Is there an automatism provided for this situation? — Christoph Kukulies
