Upon system installation my 1st step was to install Subversion, since I want to fetch the most up-to-date src/ and recompile the system. I did: pkg_bootstrap pkg2ng pkg install subversion pkg warned me there are many conflicts. I think it's because many packages of the same type but different version were matched: Installing subversion: 1.7.14 Installing subversion: 1.6.23_2 I think this is confusing for new FreeBSD. We could either offer a help, or just fail (exit unless / is present in the package name) and have users Google the answer. >How-To-Repeat: pkg install subversion >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
