>Description:
"make install" compresses the netpbm man pages when installing. The pkg/PLIST
file contains the .gz entries. However, "make package" and pkg_delete
do not handle this right.
It seems that work/.PLIST has the .gz removed from the man pages when
it is created...
>How-To-Repeat:
# make
# make install
# make package <-- error
# pkg_delete netpbm-94.3.1 <-- leaves .gz man pages behind
>Fix:
I don't know enough about the inner workings to hazard a guess.
