Chris, portmaster was the key. Installed that (yes, read the manpage, and
your -o syntax was OK anyway) and MAGIC! -- update went fine.
Matthew and Robert's comments regarding updating taken to heart as well.
THANKS guys, much appreciated.
Glenn.

Trying to update MySQL from 4.1 to 5.5.
Updating mysql-client first.
Make works great, but make install refuses to install saying 5.5
conflicts
with 4.1, run
pkg_delete for 4.1.
pkg_delete for 4.1 refuses to deinstall as all the php52 packages
(extensions, mysql, mysqli, pdo_mysql etc.) depend on mysql 4.1.
Question: Do I have to deinstall everything, and then put it all back
together, or can I force the mysql 5.5 client and 5.5 server to install?
I'm at work at the moment, so I can't test these, sorry.
Firstly, get portmaster:
# pkg_add -r portmaster
Then read the manpage:
% man portmaster
Try something like:
# portmaster -o databases/mysql55-client mysql-client
# portmaster -o databases/mysql55-server mysql-server
Then, because you haven't read the manpage you'll have to confirm
everything. Read the manpage!
If it doesn't work (because I made a mistake with the -o syntax), read
the manpage and then let us have the output.
Chris
