portmaster on updates

[Nenhum_de_Nos]

hail,

sometimes I see this behavior and for me it's weird:

      without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER"
      in your environment or the "make install" command line.

I'm in an epic journey to update all packages on 8.0R (have gnome on it).
I had to update png and gmp before this.

portmaster says clutter is already installed, but as I am running
portmaster to update all ports, most packages are indeed already there.
just need to pack a backup and install a new version ...

how can I make portmaster run till all is updated ?

I use portmaster as:

portmaster -afRd

thanks,

matheus
