Re: pkgin carnage possible culprit

[steve%prd.co.uk@localhost (Steve Blinkhorn)]

There are a few hundred lines in  the error log such as these:

pkg_add: Package `libjpeg-turbo-3.1.3' conflicts with `jpeg-[0-9]*',
and `jpeg-9f' is installed.
pkg_add: Installed package `jpeg-9f' conflicts with
`libjpeg-turbo-[0-9]*' when trying to install `libjpeg-turbo-3.1.3'.

Is this an RE glitch?
