Hi,

I had mutt installed.
I forgot to remove it.
Now i supped the current pkgsrc.
I did a make install.
After this i got:

===>  Installing for mutt-1.0.1
===>  mutt-1.0.1 is already installed - perhaps an older version?
      If so, you may wish to ``pkg_delete mutt-1.0.1'' and install
      this package again by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly,
      or use ``make update'' to upgrade it and all of its dependencies.
      If you really wish to overwrite the old package of mutt-1.0.1
      without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER"
      in your environment or the "make install" command line.
*** Error code 1

Stop.

After this i tryed to remove with pkg_delete mutt-1.0.1
This was the result:

pkg_delete: package 'mutt-1.0.1' doesn't have a prefix

Then i tried to see what was installed:
pkg_info -I -a | sort -f
But it gave this:
pkg_info: show_file: can't open '+COMMENT' for reading

Any suggestions what i can do now?
Bye,

Reinoud.
