I recently contacted the maintainer of 'claws-mail' -- Alexander Leidinger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- regarding a problem with that port. It wants to install 'clamav' even though I have 'clamav-devel' installed. Since these ports conflict, the install fails.
After talking to Alexander, he informs me that it is a generic problem with the ports system and that it should be fixed there. I haven't got the knowledge of how to accomplish this however. Instead, I modified the claws-mail Makefile to have it install clamav-devel rather than clamav. The problem is that portsnap will over write that change if and when it updates the port requiring me to manually re-edit the Makefile. My question is how would I proceed to force any port that wants to install clamav to rather install clamav-devel? I have this problem with other ports and having to manually edit each Makefile is an annoyance, especially if I forget to make the changes. -- Gerard
