Ticket #58733, comment 11
initial v1 1 1 Apparently I'm not the only one who has ended up with `libev` and `libevent` both installed as dependencies (of `lighttpd` and `tmux` respectively) :-( 2 2 3 The original requesters suggestion of putting the ''one conflicting file'' in its own package which is ''optional'' (install for compatibility), and having ''just that compatibility package'' conflict with `libevent` seems much less disruptive than just making `li vev` andlibevent` conflict with each other to avoid renaming a file (in a way that it has been renamed in MacPorts for years).3 The original requesters suggestion of putting the ''one conflicting file'' in its own package which is ''optional'' (install for compatibility), and having ''just that compatibility package'' conflict with `libevent` seems much less disruptive than just making `libev` and `libevent` conflict with each other to avoid renaming a file (in a way that it has been renamed in MacPorts for years). 4 4 5 5 Alternatively, if `libev` and `libevent` are intended to somewhat interchangable, perhaps it'd be plausible to convert one of `tmux` and/or `lighttpd` to use the ''same'' library? (But that sounds like more work than just reducing the scope of the conflict to a manageable size.)
