    Scenario:

    I have a program (several, actually) I need to install from the
generic package repository.
    These programs depend on openldap-client; however I have
openldap-sasl-client installed.  In my experience the two have been
interchangeable when compiling from ports.
    Is there a way to tell 'pkg install' "Yeah, I know it
says openldap-client, but the same version of
openldap-sasl-client satisfies the dependency"?  Or do I just use 'pkg
install -M' and hope everything works?

    Respectfully,


                Robert Huff
