Which was a nice idea to allow other tools to only depend on xxd. However, having two packages shipping xxd led to some funny situations: Imagine you use a tool, which depends on the "lightweight" sysutils/xxd. Now, you install vim. What happens is pkg will suggest you uninstall your other tool because its xxd dependency conflicts with your editor choice. The easiest solution is to let vim depend on sysutils/xxd. The only downside is you now have two packages installed instead of one. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
