Ok, does it matter that the port I want to install doesn't have any
references to APACHE_PORT in its Makefile? Grepping through /usr/ports I
can see that many ports do, but the port I want to install
(mail/squirrelmail) doesn't.

So am I taking this the right way? This type of package conflict means
that I can't have apache13-mod_ssl installed AND install other packages
that require apache13 without forcing them?


Thanks,
