>Description:

	The port net/mrtg (mrtg-2.5.1) and graphics/ImageMagick
	(ImageMagick-4.0.2) both install a file in /usr/local/bin
	with the name "convert".

>How-To-Repeat:

	Just build and install both ports, I presume installing the
	packages has the same effect.

>Fix:
	
	A set of tools like mrtg is not likely to be needed by common
	users and could therefore be installed in a seperate directory
	under /usr/local.
	The "convert" from mrtg is just a perl script to convert logfiles,
	the "convert" from ImageMagick is a binary to convert between
	various graphics formats.

State-Changed-When: Tue Jul 28 10:19:05 PDT 1998 
State-Changed-Why:  
We have many, many cases of conflicts of file names w/in the ports collection. 
We have yet to find a solution that is tolerable.  (sugguestions welcomed 
of course).  Until we hav such a solution, I guess we just have to live with 
the current situation.
