how to upgrade to gnupg-1.4.9 ?

[macintoshzoom]

Hi Woodchuck,
I have the standard gnupg-1.4.8 package and I want to upgrade to a gnupg-1.4.9 port:

The answer of your questions are at my first post, shown below:
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Hi,
1- How do I upgrade my current gnupg-1.4.8 using a port of gnupg-1.4.9 that
I have built (by hand ... ) from openports.se?
The problem is:
. make install ...
Can't install gnupg-1.4.9-ldap because of conflicts (gnupg-1.4.8)
/usr/sbin/pkg_add: gnupg-1.4.9-ldap:Fatal error
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/1/gnupg-1.4.9 (line 1420 of
/usr/ports/infrastructure/mk/bsd.port.mk).
# pkg_delete gnupg-1.4.8
Can't remove gnupg-1.4.8 without also removing:
sylpheed-2.4.5p0-gpgme gpgme-1.1.5 enigmail-0.95.5p0 kdewebdev-3.5.8p0
p5-GnuPG-Interface-0.31p0 p5-GnuPG-0.09p0 kdeaddons-3.5.8p0
kdesdk-3.5.8p0 kdepim-3.5.8p0 py-gnupg-0.3.2p1
#
Of course, I will not remove all this, it should be a way to make a
clean replacement.
2- Is there an easy way to use the  openports.se  latest ports, e.g  doing
a make install from there?
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
I had already readen man pkg_delete and the -F flag, but there is not a clear option to "delete even knowing that you will break some other installed software as it depend on this one". Once warned, i will delete it anyway, as I know for sure that installing later the new port of gnupg-1.4.9 the dependencies will be ok again, at leat I will try ...
So which one is the proper syntax for pkg_delete "force deletion and dont ask nor verify dependencies"?

The main reason to upgrade gnupg-1.4.8 (standard package at OpenBSD 4.3 to gnupg-1.4.9 (not yet available as package, but as port at openports.se cvswww
is because of the trecebn¡nt discovery of a "Moderately critical hich can potentially be exploited to compromise a vulnerable system" security issue on gnupg-1.4.8 as per  http://secunia.com/advisories/29568/  .

Thanks.
