Hi,

I'm installing apache 2.2 on my father's computer and got this error from the 
install of apache:

===>  Installing for apache-2.2.8

===>  apache-2.2.8 conflicts with installed package(s):
      apr-db42-1.2.8_2

      They install files into the same place.
      Please remove them first with pkg_delete(1).

As you can see, a recommended course of action is given here.  I wanted to 
find out what apr-db42 is, or what depends upon it, before removal and got 
this:

roadrunner# pkg_info -r apr-db42-1.2.8_2
Information for apr-db42-1.2.8_2:

Depends on:
Dependency: expat-2.0.0_1
Dependency: perl-5.8.8_1
Dependency: db42-4.2.52_5
Dependency: libiconv-1.9.2_2

Can I safely remove apr-db42-1.2.8_2 that using pkg_delete to complete the 
install of apache, or should I do something different?

Thanks,
Andy
