For example: # portlint Use of uninitialized value $2 in string ne at /usr/local/bin/portlint line 397, <IN> line 1. FATAL: /usr/ports/security/py-pyotp/distinfo: [1]: line format error. 1 fatal error and 0 warnings found. Removing the TIMESTAMP line from distinfo passes the portlint test. I'm setting "affects some people" because I saw another PR earlier today complaining about the same issue.

Found it.
The current version of portlint is 2.17.2, which has a fix for this. Please report bugs against the LATEST version of a port.
My apologies, that particular jail was on quarterly instead of latest. My bad. I confirm latest portlint works fine.
