Description John Stubblebine 2002-05-18 14:30:02 UTC

On FreeBSD.org web site, ports page, search for 'IMP' turns up lots (eg s'imp'le, etc.) but shows: imp-3.0_2 which is the latest.  However, from ports page, use 'mail' link to look at email ports, or use 'www' both show: imp-devel-3.0_2 which links to a "pkg not found" page.  A small matter of updating...

BTW: THANKS!  FreeBSD is so stable!

Fix: 

See description of problem.
How-To-Repeat: See description of problem.

I can't reproduce this problem, so I'm closing this PR. 

The problem sounds like a problem with out of date INDEX file used by 
the search engine at the time.  The INDEX "database" file is only 
recreated once in a while manually, when the ports team find it to be 
appropriate, so at times the search engine will be a bit out of date.
