Just installing GNOME and KDE on the same machine and then running: "cat /var/db/pkg/*/+CONTENTS | sort | uniq -d" would give a list of all potential duplicate files. Running pkg_which on those with both prefixes would give you all the conflicts after screening out generated files. It's certainly a real issue, but i double it's all that bad. It's not as though other projects haven't solved some version of this. -- Brooks --BwCQnh7xodEAoBMC Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFEtZ1pXY6L6fI4GtQRAqrOAKDD3ExX1pzXHLPVOFShlHPRLpFLcwCgnMLa 3TIgD0rnaS9csg6j0+ujkRE= =fBUm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --BwCQnh7xodEAoBMC--
