--- Comment #1 from Kubilay Kocak <koobs@FreeBSD.org> ---
This port uses USE_PYTHON=concurrent, which all else being equal, should
python-version suffix all files in LOCALBASE/bin.

You may be seeing conflicts given you are switching between default Python
versions. Specifically as an example, if a user has:

DEFAULT_VERSIONS=python=3.8

1) And installs py-chardet, a 'default link' for LOCALBASE/bin/chardetect will
be installed pointing to LOCALBASE/bin/chardetect-3.8

User then switches to DEFAULT_VERSIONS=python=3.10 (without deinstalling
py38-chardet)...

2) And installs py-chardet again , a 'default link' for
LOCALBASE/bin/chardetect install is attempted, pointing to
LOCALBASE/bin/chardetect-3.10, which conflicts with the installed 'default
link' from (1)
