Hm.. messy. How does lang/perl5.[6,8,10] handle such problems?

Are you referring to something like the following in pkgtools.conf?

ALT_PKGDEP = {
'net/openldap24-client' => 'net/openldap24-sasl-client',
}

I am already using that. Without it portinstall/upgrade would try every time
to install net/openldap24-client (and fail). But it still does not register
the dependency.

Install an entry into /etc/make.conf, I think it's Ok for perl (since
there are a lot of ports depends on it) but not for OpenLDAP...

Ok, then how about dropping the net/openldap24-sasl-client port and adding
an SASL OPTIONS entry to the net/openldap24-client port, like the server port?

There is a "knob" for this problem that should help you, please add

WANT_OPENLDAP_SASL=YES

to your /etc/make.conf.

I also ran into this problem and this solved it for me. There are more
options for openldap (documented in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk).

Then those who use packages will loose a possibility to use
"pkg_add -r".

Yes, this is the problem with packages like net/openldap24-server,
mail/sendmail but at least they do not break the dependency chain which
I consider fundamental. On the other hand, the possibility to use
"pkg_add -r" is an additional desired feature, but, never the less, a
feature.

[Panagiotis Christias]

You are right, problem solved! The funny thing is I was already using
WANT_OPENLDAP_VER for a long time. I suppose back then, I failed notice the
other options :)

Thanks a lot,
