www/tidy has a conflicts line: 
	CONFLICTS=      tidy-devel-[0-9]* tidy-lib-[0-9]*

www/tidy-lib does not.

I have no idea why that is although I have run into the same problem
several times myself. I did once about a year ago contact the
respective maintainers; however, I never received a reply.

What I did was install "tidy" and then install "tidy-lib". It seems to
work although it probably should not.
