New comment by jcgruenhage on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/17912#issuecomment-569855596 Comment: They provide similar functionality, so having them both installed makes no sense. Adding a line to the template that they conflict just means that xbps will stop you from installing both of them at the same time. https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/blob/master/Manual.md#optional-variables contains a variable designated for these conflicts. If you tried to install both of them at the same time, both packages would try to write a binary into /usr/bin/tldr. The current commit moves the binary, which I'm not a huge fan of, since its unexpected for the people wanting to use it.
