Unable to install dosbox because of conflict with mplayer?

[Tim Visher]

Hello all,

I'm trying to get dosbox and mplayer installed.  I already sent a
message about the issue I'm having with MPlayer but I'm also
discovering an issues with dosbox.  This is strange, because I just
had both of these packages installed but had to deactivate them to get
upgrades to work correctly.  Anyway,  I'm encountering the following
when attempting to install dosbox:

    [~]$ sudo port install -f dosbox
    --->  Installing speex @1.0.5_0
    Error: Target org.macports.install returned: Registry error: speex
@1.0.5_0 already registered as installed.  Please uninstall it first.
    Error: The following dependencies failed to build: libsdl_sound speex
    Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

The reason I'm using the -f flag is because dosbox had previously
reported the following:

    [~]$ sudo port install dosbox
    Password:
    --->  Installing speex @1.0.5_0
    --->  Activating speex @1.0.5_0
    Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error:
/opt/local/bin/speexdec is being used by the active speex-devel port.
Please deactivate this port first, or use the -f flag to force the
activation.
    Error: The following dependencies failed to build: libsdl_sound speex
    Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

It seems that there may be some sort of weird multi-branch dependency
that port can't figure out how to resolve between dosbox and mplayer?

Anyway, help would be appreciated.
