bison 2.4 and nagios-plugins 1.4.12 conflict on charset.alias

[macsforever2000@…]

I attempted to upgrade bison to version 2.4 but I see the following activation error:

--->  Fetching bison
--->  Attempting to fetch bison-2.4.tar.bz2 from http://mirrors.kernel.org/gnu/bison
--->  Verifying checksum(s) for bison

Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: /opt/local/lib/charset.alias is being used by the active nagios-plugins port.  Please deactivate this port first, or use the -f flag to force the activation.

My understanding is that ports should not be installing charset.alias. So both ports should be fixed. I've assigned this to bison's maintainer because it was updated most recently. But nagios-plugins should also be fixed - I've cc'ed the maintainer.

Thanks -- this is fixed in revision 1;

Thanks for the fix! I'm going to re-open the ticket and assign it to markd because nagios-plugins still needs to fixed to delete charset.alias too.

Done in r42080.
