Binary upgrade fails this way.

This system is 9.2-STABLE with PKGNG in use, and perl has been upgraded 
to perl5-5.16.3_1. So I assume conflicts come from the remote packages?
This command has been run, if this matters: pkg set -o 
lang/perl5.14:lang/perl5.16

This message should be clarified: where the conflict is found exactly? 
The current message isn't user friendly. User didn't do anything wrong, 
and the message doesn't add clarity as to what the problem is.
