System: NetBSD raeburn.org 1.5X NetBSD 1.5X (RAEBURN.412) #3: Wed Aug 1 14:08:55 EDT 2001 raeburn@raeburn.org:/u1/netbsd-cvs/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/RAEBURN.412 i386

>Description:

When one package to be built and installed contains a file that's already
installed by a different package (and thus likely to be different), the
package system doesn't seem to notice, or at least doesn't complain during
the build phase.

The krb-kth package, built because arla depends on it, builds and installs
libcom_err.a in /usr/pkg/lib.  However, the zephyr package also installs a
libcom_err.a in /usr/pkg/lib, and the order of -L options when building
cause the zephyr package's version to be used when linking krb-kth programs
instead of the uninstalled one in the krb-kth build tree.  So the build fails.

>How-To-Repeat:

Install zephyr package then try building arla.

>Fix:

Complain about conflicts earlier?

Order -L options so as to prefer build-tree libraries over installed ones.
(This might also be an issue when building a new version of a package while
an old version is installed, if the older library is missing routines required
by newer programs in the package.)
