 > Fixed, r74169.

 Also, the version needs to be increased, and users need to be prevented
 from attempting to install the port, and all the lines relating to
 installing the port can be removed. r74172.

 counterparts,

 Yes they do.

 Adding explicit conflicts is absolutely necessary; it prevents a user from
 wasting time building a port if it won't be able to activate anyway due to
 conflicting files.
