I am quite new to freebsd. I have several applications build from

Is it the same as for the first time: just go to the port I want
and then type make and make install or is there another way?
Yes, there are other ways.
The two main choices for rebuilding new ports are sysutils/ portupgrade
and sysutils/portmanager. portupgrade is considered the default or
standard tool, and it works quite well for most things, but has problems
with KDE and GNOME in particular.
portmanager uses a rather different approach to handling dependencies,
which can require more compiler work, but it seems to handles updating
KDE and GNOME better than portupgrade does.
OK. I am trying to install portupgrade (I do not use X) from the ports but
after I make install I get the following error:
------------
===> db43-4.3.29 is already installed
You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again
by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly.
If you really wish to overwrite the old port of databases/db43
without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER"
in your environment or the "make install" command line.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/databases/db43.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/databases/ruby-bdb.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade.

Why is it complaining about db43? Yes, I have it allready installed before
with installation of Cyrus-imapd. Shouldn't it just ignore if it is
allready installed?
