Suppose that you have a portA which is a dependency of a lot of other ports. You also have a portB which is a replacement/update/upgrade for portA. PortB provides replacements for the executables generated/supplied by PortA but for various reasons you still want to use some of PortA installed items such as libraries, etc. I tried doing the following: # pkg install PortA # cd /usr/ports/xxx/PortB # make install Installing PortB... pkg-static: PortB conflicts with PortA (installs files into the same place). Problematic file: /usr/local/bin/utilityl *** Error code 70 Is there an option, or a way similar to using 'make FORCE_PGK_REGISTER=YES install' to force overwriting the conflicting files? -- Patrick Powell Astart Technologies papowell@astart.com 1530 Jamacha Rd, Suite X Network and System San Diego, CA 92019 Consulting 858-874-6543 FAX 858-751-2435 Web: www.astart.com
