force uninstall bison and install bison2. fix all dependencies to bison with
pkgdb -F. carry on with OO.
granted, it's broken, but hardly critical.

Two ports which install files to the same place conflict-- you can't have two different versions of a file at the same path location. With some work, it is possible to install multiple versions of some ports (like Perl, Berkeley DB, GNU autoconf, etc) using a version # suffix, and symlink the version you prefer to the unqualified name: % ls -l /usr/local/bin/perl5 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 24 Mar 23 2006 /usr/local/bin/perl5@ - / usr/local/bin/perl5.8.8 ...but it doesn't magically happen. -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
