	an Athlon64-x2 system running a stock (and up-to-date)
	GNOME desktop.
>Description:
	I used to run ports/audio/slimserver (I own a slim
	devices audio player) on my main system, which is also
	my GNOME-based workstation.  Last weekend's all-systems
	port upgrade showed that most of gnome now depends
	(perhaps indirectly) on avahi-libdns (my
	avahi-libdns-0.6.22_1/+REQUIRED_BY has 165 lines).  To
	get all of this to work, I had to blow away
	net/mDNSResponder, the Darwin zeroconf implementation,
	which (apparently) clashes.  That meant that I had to
	blow away slimserver.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Try to install ports/audio/slimserver (which is just a
	perl script, so the action only happens on port
	install).  This results in:
===>  Installing for slimserver-6.5.4_2
===>   slimserver-6.5.4_2 depends on file: /usr/local/bin/mDNSResponderPosix - not found
===>    Verifying install for /usr/local/bin/mDNSResponderPosix in /usr/ports/net/mDNSResponder
===>  Extracting for mDNSResponder-108
=> MD5 Checksum OK for mDNSResponder-108.tar.gz.
=> SHA256 Checksum OK for mDNSResponder-108.tar.gz.
===>  Patching for mDNSResponder-108
===>  Applying FreeBSD patches for mDNSResponder-108
/bin/mv /usr/ports/net/mDNSResponder/work/mDNSResponder-108/mDNSShared/mDNSResponder.8  /usr/ports/net/mDNSResponder/work/mDNSResponder-108/mDNSShared/mDNSResponderPosix.8
===>   mDNSResponder-108 depends on executable: gmake - found
===>  Configuring for mDNSResponder-108
===>  Building for mDNSResponder-108

===>  mDNSResponder-108 conflicts with installed package(s):

      They install files into the same place.
      Please remove them first with pkg_delete(1).
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/net/mDNSResponder.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/audio/slimserver.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/audio/slimserver.

>Fix:

	Not sure yet: looking to see whether something can be
	salvaged.  Seems as though slimserver only really needs
	the mDNSResponderPosix executable, which has no
	replacement in the "incompatible" avahi-libdns install.
