>Description:

If you try to install both postgresql81-client and
postgresql80-client, they end up overwriting each other's file,
causing hundreds of error messages like the following:

  pkg_add: Overwriting /usr/pkg/include/postgresql/server/storage/pg_sema.h - pkg postgresql80-client-8.0.8 bogus/conflicting?

Although it may be unlikely that you would specify both of those
packages explicitly, you can easily end up with a conflict
accidentally as a result of package interdependencies.  For example,
if you try to install these two binary packages:

  ftp://ftp.netbsd.org//pub/NetBSD/packages/3.0/i386/All/postgresql81-client-8.1.4.tgz
  ftp://ftp.netbsd.org//pub/NetBSD/packages/3.0/i386/All/p5-DBD-postgresql-1.48nb2.tgz

the latter will pull in postgresql80-client as a dependency and
bad things happen.

>How-To-Repeat:

  pkg_add postgresql80-client-8.0.8.tgz
  pkg_add postgresql81-client-8.1.4.tgz
