Better formatting:

glib2 conflicts with e2fsprogs. Deactivate e2fsprogs before trying to install glib2.

[dweber@…]

Why is this a solution to the conflict? Presumably these two ports provide a different set of files, no?

Is it true that glib2 provides EVERYTHING in e2fsprogs? If so, is it possible to change all dependencies on e2fsprogs so they depend on glib2 (and furthermore, remove the e2fsprogs port)?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

As far as I know, glib2 provides nothing in e2fsprogs. But glib2 fails to install if e2fsprogs is active. Therefore, the solution to that issue was to add "conflicts e2fsprogs" to the glib2 portfile. I think it's fine to reactivate e2fsprogs after you install glib2.

I fixed some stuff with e2fsprogs and the uuid.h header. I'd bet the conflict is no longer an issue.

Confirmed, the conflict is no more.

$ port installed e2fsprogs glib2
The following ports are currently installed:
  e2fsprogs @1.41.9_1 (active)
  glib2 @2.22.0_1+darwin (active)

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Yes, I do believe Toby's r58211 fixed it. I removed the e2fsprogs conflict from glib2 and glib2-devel in r58855.
