>Originator: Michael Robinson
>Release: FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE i386
>Organization:
>Environment:
XFree86 and XFree86-4 ports
>Description:
The Makefile in the respective ports does not set the PKGNAME variable. When
the package is installed, it does so with a PKGNAME of "", which nukes the
whole /var/pkg/db database.
>How-To-Repeat:
# cd /usr/ports/x11/XFree86
# make
# make install
>Fix:
Add the following line to the Makefile in the respective ports.
PKGNAME = ${PORTNAME}-${PORTVERSION}
