Hi, Michael, In the meantime, wouldn't it be possible, to make mutt and mutt15 two completely separate, conflicting packages (without adjusting the paths or binary names) ? Just replace the "Provides: mutt" in 'mutt15' by "Conflicts: mutt". I saw, there is already a new "Conflicts: mutt15" in the 'mutt' package. My situation is, that i did not have 'mutt' installed, but only 'mutt15'. Then i did a "openpkg build -Ua" (some day we have to talk about this again) and afterwards 'mutt15' was gone and i had 'mutt' instead. The only idea i have, why 'mutt' came into play at all was the "Provides: mutt" in the 'mutt15' package. What was the magic with "with_gcc" ? ...
