Description Helmut Schneider 2011-03-23 10:20:03 UTC 
The pkg-plist seems to have orphaned entries:

[helmut@BSDHelmut ~]$ sudo pkg_create -b postfix-2.8.2,1
tar: bin/mailq: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: bin/newaliases: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors.
pkg_create: make_dist: tar command failed with code 256
[helmut@BSDHelmut ~]$ ls -la $(which mailq)
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  21 Jul 19  2010 /usr/bin/mailq -> /usr/sbin/mailwrapper
[helmut@BSDHelmut ~]$ ls -la $(which newaliases)
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  29 Oct  4 13:54 /usr/bin/newaliases -> ../../usr/local/sbin/sendmail

You must have set newaliases_path and mail_path to some non-default
values in your main.cf which was then respected by the postfix-install
script.  If you do not fiddle with those values, then those so-called
'orphaned' files are indeed installed under PREFIX/bin and the package
is created just fine (as evidenced by my tests as well as the pointyhat
cluster).

I will think about how to more gracefully handle this, but I do not have
the cycles for it at the moment.  Feel free to send a patch and I will
consider it.

Thinking about this a bit more, it has everything to do with
INSTALLATION PARAMETER INPUT METHODS as described in upstream docs.
I'll try to address this over the weekend.

You're right, seems I "transferred" those paths from OpenBSD into FreeBSD a 
few years ago.

Will do so.

Thanks, Helmut
