Bad Idea: Using Version Number For Names Of Directories!

Neo-Match

This morning, Apr 12, I tried to update all my ports with using "portupgrade -ra".
I was told that there are three packages should be upgrade:
freetype2 2.1.4
kde3base 3.1.1a
kde3libs 3.1.1a

It firstly upgraded freetype2 2.1.3,1 to freetype2 2.1.4, and delete the old version. fine, no problem.

And then, nightmare began:
When it was trying to upgrade kde3base 3.1.1a, it was interrupted by the bug that it cannot find /var/db/pkg/freetype2 2.1.3,1!!! of coz, it was DELETED!!
I could not install 2.1.3,1 since its port was just REVISED!!

then, i tried to use "ln -s" to link 2.1.3,1 to 2.1.4, and run portupgrade again, and stopped somehow. Oh! failed again....
i didn't care it too much, and tried to "make install clean" in the last two port.
finally,
I then run "pkg_version" to check, NOW I HAVE TWO FREETYPE(TWO ARE "=", TWO KDE3BASE(ONE IS "<", ANOTHER IS "="!!!

I totally cannot "startkde" now...

somebody help me please.
