I needed some "evasive action" for devel/py-parsing -> devel/py-pyparsing

This could be something unique to me; on the chance that it might help
others, though: I found that my attempt to merely update
py27-parsing-2.0.4 to py27-pyparsing-2.0.5 using portmaster failed with
the whine:

...
===>  Installing for py27-pyparsing-2.0.5
===>  Checking if py27-pyparsing already installed
===>   Registering installation for py27-pyparsing-2.0.5 as automatic
Installing py27-pyparsing-2.0.5...
pkg-static: py27-pyparsing-2.0.5 conflicts with py27-parsing-2.0.4 (installs files into the same place).  Problematic file: /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyparsing.py
*** Error code 70

Stop.
make: stopped in /common/ports/devel/py-pyparsing


Invoking "pkg which" informed me that
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyparsing.py had been insatlled
by devel/py-parsing.

I therefore performed "pkg delete -f py27-parsing-2.0.4", which removed
the offending file; I was then able to install devel/py-pyparsing without
issue.

Peace,
david
