come on ... don't through it on me and do not make such kind of
questions, part of this thread is that the instructions from UPDATING
are not accurate

so, back to the issue:

have you understood what is happening?

If yes, then read further, the real problem starts after it, want to
know what it is?

the to-be-upgraded port was build, the original or former version was
already DE-INSTALLED

the install pre-check detects a missing port and starts the process I
explained in the former message

NOW. remember, it fails because of wrong version detection and tried
to install instead of upgrading the dependency

NOW, the upgrade process fails because of the failing install process

AND NOW the original to be upgraded port IS NOT on the system any more,
it is not being RE-INSTALLED under this conditions we are speaking
about!

BUT the upgrade-all-process goes on with the next port in line as
supposed to

BUT now more and more things fail, because of MISSING parts

NOW you have to identify everything one-by-one and the nightmare
starts, because now it ends up in real work


and please, if you pretend to through it on me or my machine or setup,
don't spend your time, don't answer, don't  worry  and lets wait until
somebody gets it

thanks
