Since the switching of SourceForge ports to the new File Release System, this port has been installing its pkginfo into /var/db/pkg/-mailx-12.4_1 instead of /var/db/pkg/heirloom-mailx-12.4_1 This caused pkgdb -F to go nuts, therefore this is relatively serious when port updating. Probably needs revision bump to fix the problem for any users that have installed this port since the update on 22 Aug 2009 01:28:34 However, if they HAVE, they will also need to manually do a rm -r /var/db/pkg/-mailx-* for things to get back to normal, so maybe such information should be put into ports/UPDATING or maybe added to the makefile itself (yuck) ? Fix: make a note in /usr/ports/UPDATING to rm -rf /var/db/pkg/-mail-* or maybe temporarily get the makefile to do it? apply this patch to mail/heirloom-mailx/Makefile: How-To-Repeat: Install /usr/ports/mail/heirloom-mailx It will appear to install ok, and work ok, but pkgdb -F goes wonky. Also, port will not deinstall, because of incorrect pkgname
