>Description:
	I'm unable to install or upgrade any port unless I explicitly
	set FORCE_PKG_REGISTER.

	I have read the archives. From what I've read, it appears that:
	this problem is related to the use of the -o option with
	pkg_info; this only affected older systems (4.6, 4.7); and
	upgrading to 4.8-STABLE should solve the problem.

	I've been running 4.8-STABLE for months, and updated my -STABLE a
	few days ago. I'm still affected by the problem.
	
>How-To-Repeat:
	cd to your port of preference and type
	make clean && make install

	you should see something like this:

===>  Checking if XXXX already installed
*** Error code 1

>Fix:

	Anyone working on a fix?

	To workaround the problem: 
	setenv FORCE_PKG_REGISTER yes
	before attempting to install a port
