kth-krb4 provides:

 include/kerberosIV/com_err.h
 lib/libcom_err.la and related
 lib/libss.la and related
 include/kerberosIV/ss/ss.h

and mit-krb provides:

 include/com_err.h
 lib/libcom_err.la and related

and heimdal provides:

 include/krb5/com_err.h
 lib/libcom_err.la and related
 include/krb5/ss/ss.h
 lib/libss.la and related

I want to update pkgsrc's e2fsprogs. It also provides:
 lib/libcom_err.*
 include/et/com_err.h
 man/man3/com_err.3
 include/ss/ss.h
 include/ss/ss_err.h
 lib/libss.*
 lib/pkgconfig/ss.pc
 share/ss/ct_c.awk
 share/ss/ct_c.sed

Should I force e2fsprogs to install its libcom_err and/or libss under a
subdirectory (like lib/ext2fs/libcom_err.*)?

Or should I rename the library?

Or should I make a new package for libcom_err and/or libss that others can
use?

I do not want to conflict with a kerberos.

Also, I'd like to split out libuuid. It is used by
wip/postgresql-uniqueidentifier and wip/cinelerra and many other programs
use a libuuid (but maybe their own). I originally needed libuuid for
packaging xfsprogs.

Any comments on this?
