Description Wolfgang Müller 2020-02-21 11:24:14 UTC
As far as I can tell net-mail/mailutils has not been using the name "mu" for any of its binaries for a while now. This is hard to track down, though there is a point on https://mailutils.org/wiki/Mailutils_(utility) that "Starting with version 2.99.99 it was reluctantly renamed to mailutils to avoid name clash with another tool bearing that name."

Contrasting the NEWS file for 2.99.99 and 3.0, it seems that the rename went unmentioned, though both files introduce a new utility; one named "mu" in 2.99.99 and one named "mailutils" in 3.0. I think it is safe to assume that this is the same tool and that it has been renamed.

The conflict with net-mail/mailutils can therefore be removed.

    net-mail/mu: Stop blocking mailutils
    
    After version 2.99.99, the mailutils binary mu was renamed to mailutils
    and so they can now be installed simultaneously.
