People,

I was just looking at my package database, and it seems that I have
some dups installed thanks to some ports I've installed.

[msoulier@kanga ~]$ alias pkg_dups
alias pkg_dups=3D'pkg_info | sort | sed -e '\''s/-[0-9].*$//'\'' | uniq
-c | grep -v '\''^[[:space:]]*1'\'''
[msoulier@kanga ~]$ pkg_dups
   3 autoconf
   3 automake
   2 libtool
   2 p5-Compress-Zlib
   2 p5-ExtUtils-CBuilder
   2 p5-IO-String

I'd prefer to have one version of each of these installed. What's the
normal way to resolve this, and the subsequent dependency problems?

Thanks,
Mike
