hm, this will not help, as the conflicting file is created at runtime
and not by the installation of the package and can therefor not be
detected by pkg.

I do not understand why the CONFLICTS_INSTALL does exist:
http://www.si.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/conflicts.html

if it does not work.
Maybe a bug or has the documentation to be updated?

Matthias
