>Description:
upgrading editors/openoffice-3 using
portmaster editors/openoffice-3
leaves the symlink in /usr/local/bin pointing to the old version:
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 16 May 27 20:37 /usr/local/bin/openoffice -> openoffice-3.4.0
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 378 Nov 17 01:17 /usr/local/bin/openoffice-3.4.1
>How-To-Repeat:
install a 3.4.0 version and do an upgrade
>Fix:
manually delete the link and remake it:
cd /usr/local/bin
rm openoffice
ln -s openoffice-3.4.1 openoffice
