Checking integrity...pkg: WARNING: locally installed ImageMagick-nox11-6.8.0.7_3,1 conflicts on /usr/local/bin/import with:
- execline-1.08
>How-To-Repeat:
# pkg install ImageMagic-nox11
# pkg install execline
>Fix:
Perhaps both packages could contain a /usr/local/bin/import that is an exec-wrapper and will launch the correct `import` program. The ImageMagic `import` program doesn't take any short command-line options, and the execline `import` program doesn't take any long command-line options. Both packages could check for the existence of the exec-wrapper and either add it if it's missing or skip and continue if it exists. This requires cooperation between the two port maintainers.
