Installing on the FreeBSD. Using the port that I created https://www.freshports.org/math/spot/ I had to delete lib/charset.alias from the package in order for it to be installed.

I'm glad to see that. Thanks for the port!

This file is installed by most packages that uses gnulib (in fact, it's installed OR updated because each package is expected to add a comment to the file as a kind of reference counter to know when the file can be removed). Looking at the ports for GNU Bison or GNU grep, which also use gnulib, I see that they have USES = charsetfix and that seems to be the FreeBSD way around this: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/uses-charsetfix.html -- Alexandre Duret-Lutz
