Description Jason 2004-09-12 11:02:13 UTC 
I've got a user who likes ksh, and I besides being amazed with the time it takes to emerge ksh, I discovered that pdksh was perfectly happy to emerge right over the /bin/ksh that ksh had created.

Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge ksh
2. emerge pdksh
3.
Actual Results:  
the /bin/ksh that the ksh package created was overwitten by the /bin/ksh that
pdksh created.

Expected Results:  
emerge should have complained that the two are mutually exclusive, or put them
in different places, or even just made some noise...

I maintain ksh, and block pdksh from there. it looks like pdksh is orphaned (no maintainer), so I'll add the block there.
