If I execute this command:
pkg install postfix
then 'pkg' will try to install multiple versions of postfix:
The following 4 packages will be installed:
Installing postfix: 2.10.1,1
Installing postfix: 2.7.14,1
Installing postfix: 2.8.15,1
Installing postfix: 2.9.7,1
The installation will require 53 MB more space
8 MB to be downloaded
Proceed with installing packages [y/N]:
>From some discussions on the mailing lists with Baptiste,
Baptiste would like to see that
(1) PKGNAME must be unique in the ports tree
(2) LATEST_LINK can be used to work around the problem, but
the ideal solution would be to fix PKGNAME
One other workaround is to do:
pkg install mail/postfix
