CONFLICTS introduced an interesting breakage here when I wanted to install a package containings a CONFLICTS declaration with an out-of-date pkg_add. It seems that pkg_add should be tought to ignore unknown declarations in package files. > - news/tin conflicts with textproc/urlview > common files: bin/url_handler.sh > CONFLICTS= urlview-0.* tin's url_handler should be installed either as .sample or into a separate examples directory, IMHO. BTW, the last time I looked, both tin and mutt (and possibly other ports) installed a mbox(5) manpage. Maybe something to look after, too. Of course not a case for CONFLICTS. > - www/lynx-current conflicts with japanese/lynx, > japanese/lynx-current, www/lynx > common files: bin/lynx > CONFLICTS= ja-lynx-2.8.* lynx-2.8.4.1d I beg your pardon, but I do not think anyone will install these in parallel. This is probably true for every localized port or for ports that feature a modified version of some software which is - in its stock version - present in the ports collection too. > - www/squid24 conflicts with www/squid > common files: sbin/squid > CONFLICTS= squid-2.5_4 Same here. But since squid-2.4 is not officially supported by the squid team anymore, I suggest to remove it completely.
