Let's say there are two ports A & B. They both provide libfoo.so.1 (and so register CONFLICTS with each other). Now port C wants to use libfoo (and doesn't care if it gets it from A or B). What does port C list in it's LIB_DEPENDS? What if it lists A and someone installs B... does A get registered as the dependency when C is installed even though A is not installed? This must have been solved already... I just don't see where.
