p5-getopt-long and perl5.8 - activation error

[Michael Franz]

Ryan,
Does that mean that I should expect the dependencies to have issues?  Or,
should I always pass in -f for my installs?

I re-ran my install command (it was not apahe-ant, it was icedtea), 5 more
packages gave me the same issue.  I infer from your response, I should have
had the same error message (if I didn't use the -f).  I did get the same
error message, but for a different port.  Each time I re-ran, I advanced to
the next dependency.
