slow down, don't assume things ... you have not read with attention
before

I explain again

no port is damaged (or busted), before starting the upgrade process
everything is fine as reported by pkgdb -F, pkgdb -L and pkg_libchk,
absolutely clean and everything working fine and smooth

then, sooner or later while upgrading, one dependency port is still
the former version

the install script looks for the actual version which is not installed
and goes to "add the apparently missing port"

after compiling it, it tries to install it AND NOW IT IS FAILING
because the port is already installed, that was quite clear to see in
the attached file

what was necessary was an upgrade and not a new install


ok, better explained now?


and that is the reason WHY `portupgrade -a` is not working for the kde4
upgrade, because it IS necessary to proceed in a certain order for not
being caught by this problem

BTW this problem is an old and nasty upgrade problem, only it is easy to
solve when only one or two ports are envolved
