Description brett 1997-10-16 18:50:03 UTC 
	There is a conflict between the new teTeX-0.4 port and mp 
	(mp is similar to enscript).  Both ports have an executable
	called "mp" and both get installed in /usr/local/bin, so 
	installing or deleting either port causes havoc with the 
	remaining port.

Fix: 

Can we install one of the executables somewhere else?  
	Neither really belongs in /usr/X11R6 though.... -shrug-
How-To-Repeat: 
	Install both ports from /usr/ports/print or have both 
	installed and pkg_delete one of them!

We have several ports who's binary names conflict.  There really isn't 
a good solution that we have to this problem. 
Can revisit the issue if you have a solution.  sorry. :(
