--- Comment #2 from George Mitchell <george@m5p.com> ---
Well, it does appear that I could have avoided the problem by upgrading to =
the
most recent vim.  However, my system's state is that /usr/local/bin/xxd had
been installed by the old version of vim without sysutils/xxd having been
installed, and it caused a conflict when I was upgrading ffmpeg4.  So, yes,
this arises from a user error on my part.

Nevertheless, it seems more flavorful to me for the vmaf Makefile (or other
Makefiles in similar situations) to declare a dependency simply on the requ=
ired
binary, rather than (dogmatically it seems to me) on the required binary ha=
ving
been installed by a specific package.
