This collides when one of them is installed, and the other is needed. Is there a sane way to solve this other than to depend on things which the port in reality does not depend on? A few ports have something like this in their Makefile which causes problems when a different msgfmt is installed: BUILD_DEPENDS= msgfmt:${PORTSDIR}/devel/gettext (example taken from net/kdetelnet, but there are more) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
