+pkgconflict is a script that searches for conflicting packages.
+
+In a first step it gathers the package and file names of all known
+packages. The source for this step is either the contents of
+/var/db/pkg, or a directory where the builk builds savet the
+package databases.
+
+In a second step, it calls a database system, PostgreSQL, to
+determine which packages have common file names. Packages with
+registered CONFLICT lines are filtered out.
