Why would a port use its own existence as an excuse to fail install?

[David Wolfskill]

Silly me -- I thought today might be a good day to upgrade X.org on my
laptop to the NEW_XORG.

Laptop is running:

FreeBSD g1-251.catwhisker.org 9.2-STABLE FreeBSD 9.2-STABLE #670  r261880M/261884:902506: Fri Feb 14 04:50:27 PST 2014     root at g1-251.catwhisker.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/CANARY  i386

I would have updated it this morning, but there were to updates to
stable/9 as of r261913 (which is the current state of my local
private mirror).

Ports is at r344370; I've been using pkgng on the machine for about
a week (though I still build ports, usually using portmaster.


Here's an example of the Subject....

One of the ports to be updated (based on the process documented in
ports/UPDATING 20131216) was textproc/clucene-qt4.

So (cut/paste from typescript):

So that "Installing qt4-clucene-4.8.5...pkg-static: qt4-clucene-4.8.5
conflicts with qt4-clucene-4.8.5 (installs files into the same
place).  Problematic file: /usr/local/lib/qt4/libQtCLucene.la" is what
I was going on about.  That really seems like about the lamest excuse
for failing an install that I could imagine....

Eventually, it will probably become moot, as I'll (eventually)
migrate to stable/10, and go through the deinstall-all-ports, then
reinstall-all-ports exercise.... but, seriously...?  What's causing this?

How do I make it stop?

Peace,
david
