Let's say I have tcsh 6.9.0 installed and make 'sub -v'.
'lintpkgsrc -i' tells me that there is a version mismatch. The latest
version of tcsh retrieved by 'sub -v' is 6.10.0.

How do I install the new version? Is is sufficient to cd to that
directory (/usr/pkgsrc/shells/tcsh) and to say 'make install', or do I
have to delete the existing 6.9.0 somehow prior reinstalling the new
version?

TIA
