I recently upgraded to FreeBSD 4.8 from 4.6 using cvsup to update =
src-all and the ports tree.

I did the usual:
make buildworld
make buildkernel
make installkernel
make installworld
mergemaster

I tried to install a couple of ports and I am receiving this error when =
I do the make install:

pkg_create: only one package name allowed ('interface' extraneous)

the 'interface' is defferent depending on what port, and is the 3rd word =
on the COMMENT=3D line of the Makefile.

If I remove the COMMENT=3D line and place the text in a pkg-comment =
file, the installation works fine.

I'm not sure if this is related to upgrading to 4.8, or the updated =
ports tree.  I had installed several ports when it was FreeBSD 4.6, =
without any problems, but I'm not sure if they utilized the COMMENT=3D =
or the pkg-comment method.

Thanks
Tom
