>Description:

When creating a pkg with pkg_create the -B option (the +BUILD_INFO file)
is optional. The resulting pkg does not work, however, since pkg_add can
not work without +BUILD_INFO.

Even if used with -f (so it does not terminate due to missing +BUILD_INFO)
it will not install the pkg, since it dumps core - in varions places
strings from the buildinfo[] array (which happen to be all NULL in
case of a missing +BUILD_INFO) are used without checks to call strcmp().

>How-To-Repeat:
s.a.

>Fix:
Either make pkg_create complain about missing +BUILD_INFO contents, or make
pkg_add cope with nonexistant or incomplete +BUILD_INFO
