Dear Thom,
What I do when something like this happens is:
either, 'cd' to the port that is causing the problem, devel/py-orbit2,
in
this case and type 'make deinstall', than go back to your original port
and
issue a make again
or, 'cd' to the port that is causing the problem, devel/py-orbit2, in
this
case and type 'make -DFORCE_PKG_REGISTER install clean'. This forces an
upgrade of the troublesome port, but may result in a double registered port.
This can be checked by issuing 'pkgdb -F'
Good luck,
Pascal
