#65014: texlive-basic: newest release includes binary 'man', conflicting with port
`man`

---------------------+---------------------------
 It appears that the latest release of `texlive-basic` includes a binary
 named - unfortunately - `man`. This causes a port conflict with `man`,
 which is mighty ubiquitous.

 Rather than declaring a conflict between these two ports, a better choice
 would be to either rename `man` to something non-conflicting - `texman`
 maybe? - assuming that the binary is worth keeping. Otherwise, if it
 isn't, don't include it in the port installation.
