I brought this issue up a month or so ago.  The problem was caused
by during the 4.11 development the ports people decided it was to
cpu intensive to do nightly builds of the INDEX file.  So they stopped
doing it.  Later on when the release was done what should have been
done wnen making up the CD is they should have done a make index first,
then copied the files to the CD.
