pythia @8.135_0 conflicts with libevent on Event.h

[martin.zeman@…]

sudo port install pythia fails on activation due to a conflict in the includes: Event.h I believe this is connected to my installation of ROOT / libevent? I can provide a list of my installed ports, but I am not sure how to find to which port the conflicting event.h belongs. Is there a way to find out?

Cheers,

Martin

The error message is a little misleading: "/Ports/include/Event.h already exists and does not belong to a registered port." It's true, no port provides Event.h, but libevent provides ${prefix}/include/event.h, which, on a case-insensitive filesystem like most of us use, is just as conflicting.

pythia and libevent should either be marked as conflicting with one another, or ideally, pythia should install its files somewhere else so it does not conflict.

This port no longer has a maintainer. See #47570.
