Yeah, I do not get this:

/opt/local/bin/spfquery is not being used by p5-mail-spf, unless I
misunderstand what port contents is showing me. I had a 99% flawless
install of ASSP and all it's chunks, but this one hitch, and I am
going to have to add a -f to the install process?
In order for contents to work the port has to be active, which means
you
forced p5-mail-spf-query to install right? That then detached p5-
mail-spf
from the conflicting file, so contents doesn't show it any more. Try
deactivating both, then just activate p5-mail-spf and run contents
again.
You should see spfquery.
I will take your word for it, your explanation below makes sense to me
now.
A quick test here shows p5-mail-spf to install spfquery as well as
spfd,
which p5-mail-spf-query also installs but in a different location
(bin vs.
sbin).
It would appear these two ports are conflicting with one another
(and I note
FreeBSD has tagged them as such [1]) so it seems like they shouldn't
be
installed at the same time.
I can not find reference to this, can you point me to it, it may help
me leverage some of the issues below that I am going to have to bring
up with the ASSP developers.
Note that 1.8 will have a way to denote this,
but for now just use one, I'm guessing p5-mail-spf since it has been
updated
more recently (though that isn't the most scientific way to decide).
Thank you Brian, I was not aware contents worked that way. Thanks.
Here is the problem...
From the ASSP install requirements:
Mail::SPF::Query version 1.999001
Mail::SPF version 2.005
So for whatever reasons, the devs of ASSP have deemed them both
needed, and specify the min versions as well.
How does CPAN deal with the installation of these two items if you had
to guess? ASSP comes with a bash script to do these installs, just
calling out to CPAN, and I have not heard anyone have this issue of
conflicts.
I can try to talk to the developers about this, but there are many a
working install, so I am going to get resistance. I assume CPAN just
writes over the other one?
I am going to have to confirm, but the code looks like it does this:
if (! Mail::SPF::Query)
die('please install Mail::SPF::Query')
if (! Mail::SPF)
die('Mail::SPF')
If that is the case, what wold you suggest?
