two vlc's in /usr/local/bin !!!

[balanga]

I have just installed multimedia/vlc which updated my existing my installation.

On inspection of my filesystem I see two copies of vlc in /usr/local/bin.

How is this even possible?

ls -al vlc*
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  12360 Oct 10 16:31 vlc
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  12872 Mar  2  2021 vlc
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   8632 Oct 10 16:31 vlc-wrapper
root@X1:/usr/local/bin# file -s vlc
root@X1:/usr/local/bin# file -s vlc
vlc: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (FreeBSD), dynamically linked, interpreter /libexec/ld-elf.so.1, for FreeBSD 13.2, FreeBSD-style, stripped

root@X1:/usr/local/bin# file -s vlc\
root@X1:/usr/local/bin# file -s vlc\

There is a space at the end of one of the filenames.

Correct!

root@X1:/usr/local/bin# ls -al 'vlc '
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 12872 Mar 2 2021 vlc

Not sure how that could have happened.

Piping the ls output to xxd should show the differences too.
