 Replying to [comment:17 LenoreHorner@…]:
 > Doing the suggested forcing is a failure:  lots of files get rewritten
 and afterwards qt3-mac is broken.

 MacPorts was not suggesting you should force the activation. The wording
 of the message could probably be improved. MacPorts was explaining that if
 you know what you're doing, you can force the activation, with all the
 consequences that entails. The purpose of forcing an activation is to move
 aside the files the port would otherwise conflict with, with the
 consequence that the port that installed those conflicting files might not
 work anymore. Forcing an activation is almost never what you want.
