The following reply was made to PR ports/173767; it has been noted by GNATS. From: "b. f." <bf1783@googlemail.com> To: Chris Petrik <c.petrik.sosa@gmail.com>, bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, chris.dukes.aix@gmail.com Cc: Subject: Re: ports/173767: lang/tcl85 conflicts with x11-toolkits/open-motif Date: Thu, 22 Nov 2012 07:08:34 -0500 We generally try to avoid installing a file and then moving it to another location. It's inefficient, and can cause problems with some security measures. Moreover, it doesn't prevent an overwrite of the existing manpage if motif is already installed. A solution would be to use the --enable-man-suffix configure option, to rename all of the manpages. This would help prevent other conflicts, and make it clear what manpages are associated with tcl. This should be done uniformly, for all of the tcl/tk ports. b.
