You FreeBSD guys,

This is a kind of reposting, I got no response to this question (Why? Is
there something wrong how I write my my question(s)?), whether list
(archives) nor google told me something _really_ helpful - just stupid
work arounds -sorry.

I suppose there are many of you using the OpenOffice-2.0 package from
http://porting.openoffice.org/freebsd/ which requires openssl-beta-0.9.8a
to be installed (I don't understand why).

Installing openssl-beta from ports at first doesn't hurt. But at the stage
of portupgrading next time it starts to be a pain, so I end up removing
openoffice-2 and openssl-beta _before_ I do a portupgrade. If I don't
remove both ports, any port that requires openssl is built with
openssl-beta instead of openssl from the base system. If I add
WITH_OPENSSL_BASE=yes, which seemd to be a good  solution, net-snmp
(required for kdeutils) complains that it cannot build if there is a newer
openssl version installed by a port. There we are again, byebye
openssl-beta/openoffice, portupgrade, reinstall both.


I'm a bit of a loss, no answer, no help by google, but I can't be the only
one who faces this problem. How are you dealing with this? Do I overlook
something?


Thanks,
Ben
