Patch USES=linux to ERROR if a Linux package is missing

Is a port specifies a Linux package that does not exist then USES=linux silently ignores that package, instead of generating an ERROR for a non-existent dependency.  

The attached patch adds that safeguard.  

Would you like an exp-run for this?

Feel free to commit, but perhaps it's better to use DEV_ERROR?  Then users won't see build problems because of this.

Can/should this be MFH'd ?

It's not that important is it?
Comment 5 Mathieu Arnold freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-08-08 12:51:27 UTC
Also, there are almost no direct commits to the quarterly branch, so it will most certainly never be triggered.

Committed a while ago.
