Bug ID: 292576
Summary: mail/mu: Could not be installed with Emacs in the
system
Product: Ports & Packages
Version: Latest
Hardware: amd64
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People
Priority: ---
Component: Individual Port(s)

Hello, I found this problem in my FreeBSD 14.3 installation and reproduced it
in my FreeBSD 15.0.
Overview: When I trying to install "mu" package, the pkg removes my "emacs"
package and installs the unwanted "emacs-nox" instead. But I prefer to use GUI
Emacs in my system, not the console-only Emacs. So I need to have both emacs
and mu installed.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Install emacs to the system (pkg install emacs).
2) Install mu to the system (pkg install mu).
At the 2nd point the pkg will remove emacs and install emacs-nox instead of it.
Actual results: emacs is replaced by emacs-nox after mu installation.
Expected result: mu could be installed with emacs already in the system.
Emacs-nox should not replace Emacs.
Build date & hardware:
- mu version: 1.12.13 from FreeBSD:15:amd64 repository
- Emacs version: 30.2,3 from FreeBSD:15:amd64 repository
- FreeBSD version: 15.0-RELEASE-p1
- CPU architecture: amd64
Additional information:
Log of "pkg install mu" while package "emacs" already installed in the system:
All repositories are up to date.
Checking integrity... done (1 conflicting)
- emacs-nox-30.2,3 [FreeBSD-ports] conflicts with emacs-30.2,3 [installed] on
/usr/local/bin/ctags
Checking integrity... done (0 conflicting)
The following 3 package(s) will be affected (of 0 checked):
New packages to be INSTALLED:
emacs-nox: 30.2,3 [FreeBSD-ports]
mu: 1.12.13 [FreeBSD-ports]
Installed packages to be REMOVED:
emacs: 30.2,3
Number of packages to be removed: 1
Number of packages to be installed: 2
The operation will free 125 MiB.
Proceed with this action? [y/N]: n
Additional information 2: if I try to install mu first and install the emacs
second — the pkg removes emacs-nox and mu. So, I could not have both mu and
emacs installed at the same time.
