The ports mail/mutt-devel and news/tin both install the manual pages mbox(5) and mmdf(5), although the content of both is different between the two ports. If one installs both ports and then de-installs one of them these manual pages will be removed, which may not be what the user expects. Also, during upgrades if the older of the two is being upgraded the MD5 checks will fail causing a warning to be printed, which may cause confusion to the user. It could be argued that news/tin should not be installing mbox(5) and mmdf(5) manual pages by default since it is primarily a news client. However, some users do use it for email. Because of that I offer a patch for both ports which makes the installation of these two manual pages optional. Fix: The patches included below offer user options to not install the manual pages mbox(5) and mmdf(5). The user may then choose which port (if any) should install and "own" these manual pages. How-To-Repeat: Install news/tin and then mail/mutt-devel. The latter installation process will over-write the files installed by the installation of the former.
