OK that explains a lot.. so we are in a messed up situation since
this will keep conflicting when it refers to things that are also
used by ftpd(8). No matter how hard David works on it :( (which I
thank him for). What should we do with this? Move it to the ports
tree (which resolves this issue since it cannot conflict at all)
or try to ask David to ask the original developers to these conflicts?
(Both will be.. interesting to do :-))
Cheers and thanks for the feedback!
