>Description:
It is not clear from a user's perspective what is different
about these XFree86 series 4.x ports:
XFree86-4
XFree86-4-clients
XFree86-4-documents
XFree86-4-libraries
XFree86-4-manuals
XFree86-aoutlibs
XFree86-contrib
one is a complete tarball, the others are a split of
the former (except for the a.out compat port)
As XFree86 4.x is still rather uncommon, this should
be made clear without the user having to compare
packaging lists or downloading.
>How-To-Repeat:
read package descriptions
>Fix:
I suggest these changes (or similiar).
