>Description:
The pkgtools/digest package does not handle manual pages correctly:
===> Installing for digest-20010302
install -r -p -c -s -o root -g wheel -m 555 digest /usr/pkg/bin/digest
gzip -cf digest.cat1 > /usr/pkg/man/cat1/digest.0.gz
===> [Automatic manual page handling]
===> Compressing manual pages for digest-20010302
/usr/pkg/man/man1/digest.1: No such file or directory
*** Error code 1
My guess is that it has a BSD style Makefile and picks up the MANINSTALL
setting from /etc/mk.conf. There are several packages that already handle
this correctly, e.g. "comms/kermit". It is tiring to have to fix this
over and over as new packages are introduced...
>How-To-Repeat:
Well, I was trying to build amanda...
>Fix:
Look at comms/kermit on how to handle MANINSTALL correctly.
