To give an arbitrary example: I had ${PREFIX}/{s,}bin first in PATH at
one point. A Kerberos pkgsrc package installed a su(1), which for
whatever reason didn't work (I don't use Kerberos).
Until pkgsrc prefixes any tools that duplicate base tools, or we grow a
viable alternatives system, that will remain a problem. And I am not
sure the above cures are any better than the problem.
