If I am not mistaken, now emacs cannot be installed at the same time as for example kde5 (kdemultimedia, kdenlive, dvdauthor, ImageMagick6), inkscape (ImageMagick6), or calligra (pstoedit, ImageMagick6). We already have some ports depending on ImageMagick7 and some on ImageMagick6, but so far all the desktop application stick to ImageMagick6. If they move one by one, there are many conflicts that breaks desktops. Is that really the way to go? Cheers, Jan Henrik
