Ryan, Does that mean that I should expect the dependencies to have issues? Or, should I always pass in -f for my installs?
I re-ran my install command (it was not apahe-ant, it was icedtea), 5 more packages gave me the same issue. I infer from your response, I should have had the same error message (if I didn't use the -f). I did get the same error message, but for a different port. Each time I re-ran, I advanced to the next dependency.
