>Description:
The netcat port installs the binary to /usr/local/bin/nc. This location
conflicts with the nedit port which installs the server binary to the
location /usr/X11R6/bin/nc. Though these are different locations, they
cause problems relating to which gets called in the path. I find this
far less than ideal.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install both nedit and netcat and type "nc", depending on how your path
is laid out, you will either net netcat or the nedit server :)
>Fix:
I've decided to patch to change the netcat install to 'netcat', you may
prefere to change nedit's server binary instead. I'll leave that up to
you to decide what is best.
