---------------------+----------------------
 Per issue:57787, as well as subsequent [https://github.com/macports
 /macports-ports/pull/12501 PR 12501 - go-tools: eliminate conflict with
 Ruby], it appears that `port select` blindly overwrites existing binaries,
 even if they belong to another port.

 Given that the rest of MacPorts makes every attempt to avoid such issues,
 this should be fixed.
