There are ports that can't to live together. E.g. lynx and lynx-current. If you install one of them when other exists it rewrite files silently but you will have both registered! Good point to deceive users. I gues we need some mechanism to notify ports system about conflict ports. Something like this: CONFLICT_PORTS= If any port from list installed user do 'make install' or pkg_add he will get message like that: "Port X can't be installed port Y. If you still want install this port remove Y before" and stops. What do you think? ---- Sem.
