or use the -f flag to force the activation.
Then it probably is a bug -- I've cc'ed Daniel, he probably knows
best what this could be as he is the maintainer of "p5-pathtools".
The p5-pathtools needs to overwrite the older pathtools that come
with perl5.8 in order to be found (perl searches the vendor
location last by default, and the perl community consensus is that
this is the appropriate way to upgrade modules that ship with perl).
To that end, p5-pathtools would have printed out:
"You must install or activate this package with '-f' (force) as it
needs to overwrite files installed by the perl5.8 port"
You can run `sudo port -f install p5-pathtools` and then try
installing firefox-x11 again and it should work.
So that this doesn't force a rebuild of perl5.8 as well, you should
recommend
sudo port -nf install p5-pathtools
instead.
