OK. I'm about to strangle somebody -- possibly myself.
I'm trying to get a new port packed up and committed, but I CANNOT seem
to get the package-related stuff to work right. I'm running a recent
version of -current:
FreeBSD 2.2-CURRENT (FREEBIE) #0: Sun Mar 17 15:17:04 PST 1996
The port is "modula-3" and the package name is "modula-3-3.5.3".
Here's how I'm testing it, and how it's failing.
1. cd $PORTSDIR/lang/modula-3; make; make install -- Works OK.
2. make package -- Works OK.
3. pkg_delete -d modula-3-3.5.3 -- Works OK.
4. pkg_add -v $PORTSDIR/packages/modula-3-3.5.3.tgz -- Fails.
The output from pkg_add looks like this. Note, there seems to be
interleaved output from 2 different processes.

Pkg_add exits with status=2, and nothing gets installed.
The "pkg/PLIST" file in my port looks like this:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
bin/BadBricks
bin/Calculator
bin/Cube
bin/Fours
... zillions more filenames
man/man6/columns.6.gz
man/man6/solitaire.6.gz
man/man6/tetris.6.gz
@exec /sbin/ldconfig -m %D/lib/m3/FreeBSD2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All the files seem to be present in the modula-3-3.5.3.tgz (package)
file. In fact, I can't see anything wrong with the package.
Have I run into a bug in pkg_add? I can only think of two things about
my port that are unusual. First, there are a _lot_ of files in the
PLIST:
freebie$ wc pkg/PLIST
2124 2127 85049 pkg/PLIST
I know that used to cause a problem in pkg_create, but I committed the
fix for that long ago. (And the package looks OK.) I thought I had
determined that a large PLIST wouldn't be a problem for pkg_add. Was I
wrong?
Second, some of the files in the PLIST are symbolic links. That's OK,
isn't it?
Any other ideas on what the problem might be?
