When ports are at war

When ports go to war, this is what happens:

x11-toolkits/py-gnome-extras depends on libgda2.
editors/gnome2-office depends on libgda3.
You can't have both.

This is what happens when a project gets busy devoting itself to
a bunch of religious nutcases who just have to have a cartoon
of a demon removed from everything.

TIP: double quote a command name at the bash prompt to ignore any aliasing you
may have set. Don't include switches in the quotes. Ex: #"ls" -R
.
