>Description:
when creating the +CONTENTS file for a package, pkg_create calls the
fprintf() function various times without checking if the function
succeeded. This can lead to unnoticed package corruption. In my case,
editors/abiword could not be packaged, and the "make package" process
terminated without giving an error message.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
Add _complete_ error checking to the pkgtools/pkg_install program.
Enable lint(1) for it.
