You aren't the only one to notice this: it's being discussed over on freebsd-ports@... at the moment. See the thread that starts with: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2004-June/013104.html which generally means a fix will soon be forthcoming. Generally in these sort of cases your first point of contact should be the port's maintainer. Find that by: % cd /usr/ports/www/awstats % make -V MAINTAINER Now just sending an e-mail to the maintainer usually suffices, and most maintainers will be happy to fix things and help you out generally. However, if the maintainer has an @FreeBSD.org address (including various mailing list addresses like x11@FreeBSD.org, perl@FreeBSD.org, ports@FreeBSD.org) then you can use send-pr(1) to send in a bug report - preferably including a fix. If the port is unmaintained (ie. maintainer is ports@FreeBSD.org) then you may well get asked to become the maintainer... Also use send-pr(1) if e-mail to the maintainer bounces or you get no reply after a reasonable time (ie. two weeks) -- mention the problem in the PR you send.
