https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=201233 --- Comment #4 from Franco Fichtner <franco@opnsense.org> --- Thanks for responding, Mark. I talked this over a little with @swills and it's a bit odd that the infrastructure overrides the user selection. I would simply expect the ports framework to fail with a message that it can't set the perl version since a different one is already installed. The situation is easily forced either while using packages and ports on the same machine (I know, don't do it, but there's no reason not to do it if the framework would adapt better) or when compiling perl5 from ports having forgot to set the default version in the first place. @swills wasn't opposed to a warning message, I don't know if that is radical enough here. In any case, just an observation on how expected behaviour goes against what is being executed underneath. It was pretty hard to catch and debug this in the first place. Cheers, Franco -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
