Comment:
The coreutils port install GNU expr, and in MacPorts, we prefix all the
coreutils program names with "g" so that they do not shadow the BSD
versions of those same problems that OS X provides, which would lead to
badness. GNU expr works e.g. like this:
{{{
$ gexpr 1 + 2
3
}}}
The gexpr port installs an independently-developed program called gexpr
which functions differently:
{{{
$ gexpr "1 + 2"
3
}}}
So yes, they are different, and should conflict with one another. r103138
