#39705: pTeX conflicts with texlive-bin-extra, texlive-basic, dvipng, texlive- metapost, texlive-fontutils, texlive-latex, texlive-context, texlive-latex- recommended, texlive-bin -------------------------------------------------+------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: takanori@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: pTeX, texlive-common, texlive-bin- | extra, texlive-basic, dvipng, texlive- | metapost, texlive-fontutils, texlive-latex, | texlive-context, texlive-latex-recommended, | texlive-bin | -------------------------------------------------+------------------------- Comment (by ryandesign@…): I'm not sure what you mean. I tried to install pTeX. It said it conflicted with texlive-common. So I tried to deactivate texlive-common, and was told it was needed for another port. At this point I had two choices. I could force the deactivation, knowing that I did not care about those other ports at that particular moment. This is what I chose to do. Are you suggesting that we should not support this action, and that instead the user should have known that he should uninstall all of texlive just to be able to install pTeX? I don't think that's realistic. The `conflicts` keyword should be used to indicate every conflict that actually exists, and it should be in both of each pair of conflicting ports. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/39705#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
