I think it's a bug that linux_base thinks it conflicts with itself.

The problem occurs if you do
make install; make install FORCE_PKG_REGISTER=yes
which is somewhat supported, although [seldom] (never?) used.

Also record conflicts with cle_base.
distinfo file, and instead fetch this one from from the i386 directory for
both Alpha and i386 architectures. Based on the previous commit that
duplicated these entries in the plist, these files should be more or
less identical. Note: ftp-master will be updated soon with the correct
distfile. [1]
Also, remove redundant slashes from the jail message. [2]

Installation of linux_base-7.1_2 fails when linprocfs is
mounted. Unmounting linprocfs before installing works
around the issue.
At Lars' suggestion, this script also mounts the linprocfs after
installation. I assume that if the user has a linprocfs entry in
/etc/fstab, the user wants it to be mounted. It also seemed like
a good idea to un-mount it before de-installation.

The function gzprintf within zlib, when called with a string
longer than Z_PRINTF_BUFZISE (= 4096 bytes), can overflow
without giving a warning. zlib-1.1.4 and earlier exhibit
this behavior. There are no known exploits of the gzprintf
overrun, and only a few programs, including rpm2html and
gimp-print, are known to use the gzprintf function. The
problem has been fixed by checking the length of the output
string within gzprintf.

package. libstdc++-2.96 is a core package that is referenced by many
linux_base applications such as linux-eagle. For instance, linux-eagle
doesn't work with linux_base-7.1_3.
Despite the importance, libstdc++-2.96 has been forgotten to be extracted
since 6 months. (Actually, the RPM package is listed in the Makefile,
but was badly defined so that no extraction was performed.)
Since linux_base is an important package, I hesitated to commit this
correction (for a long time :). If there is any incovenience in the
way of package definition, please feel free to correct my change.

CERT advisory CA-2003-10).
According to <URL:http://www.redhat.com/apps/support/errata/>, "all
errata support for Alpha products, Sparc products, and Powertools
products have reached end of life."
I didn't do proper run-time testing of this, but "make package
deinstall" leaves a clean /compat/linux/ behind.
