How To Fix php5-pcre Ignored Package in FreeBSD Ports
I guess most of the FreeBSD users having problem to patch php5-pcre package in FreeBSD Ports. Whenever you run portversion -vL=, you will always see php5-pcre is outdated even after running portupgrade php5-pcre, you will get the error message;
pkg_add: warning: package 'php5-pcre-5.2.6_2' requires 'php5-5.2.8', but 'php5-pcre-5.2.6_2' is installed
---> Removing old package'
** Fix the installation problem and try again.
