            Bug ID: 257140
           Summary: mail/thunderbird and www/firefox install two
                    executables
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: gecko@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: mi@FreeBSD.org
          Assignee: gecko@FreeBSD.org
             Flags: maintainer-feedback?(gecko@FreeBSD.org)

Both ports install a pair of identical executables:
${PREFIX}/lib/${port}/${port} and ${PREFIX}/lib/${port}/${port}-bin. For
example:

-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  532976 Jul 12 13:28 /opt/lib/firefox/firefox
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  532976 Jul 12 13:28 /opt/lib/firefox/firefox-bin

-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  708872 Apr 18 22:47 /opt/lib/thunderbird/thunder=
bird
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  708872 Apr 18 22:47
/opt/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird-bin

If one of them is not actually used, then it should not be installed at all=
. If
both are used (due to bugs in upstream scripts), then the two incarnations
ought to be made a hard link.
