openjdk8 (or possibly javavmwrapper) has a softlinked /usr/local/bin/jps to
/usr/local/bin/javavm which appears to be unknown to pkg:

❯sudo pkg install -y openjdk8-8.60.24 ....

❯pkg which /usr/local/bin/jps
/usr/local/bin/jps was not found in the database

❯which jps
/usr/local/bin/jps

❯l /usr/local/bin/jps
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel    21B Dec  3 09:46 /usr/local/bin/jps@ ->
/usr/local/bin/javavm

This conflicts when installing sysutils/jps.

BTW should pkg complain when it overwrites an existing file silently, even if
it's not somehow in the pkg database? This is actually what happened that
caused me to dig into this.
