            Bug ID: 217244
           Summary: archivers/lzmalib: remove port?
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)

lzmalib installs /usr/local/lib/liblzma.so which conflicts with the base system
/usr/lib/liblzma.so. This can cause problems, see for example
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=210626 and
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=209355

According to the research in these bug reports, the lzmalib port is needed only
by archivers/p5-Compress-Raw-Lzma and databases/tokyocabinet. I just tried to
build PMQS/Compress-Raw-Lzma-2.074.tar.gz directly from CPAN without the
lzmalib port, and it worked (all tests passed), so it seems that at least
p5-Compress-Raw-Lzma does not need the lzmalib port. Maybe the same is the case
for tokyocabinet.

I think it would be good if the lzmalib port could be removed to reduce
potential confusion.
