>Description:
The "compiled" directory of xkb is listed as a file in the port's pkg-plist.  The deinstall can't remove it, and subsequent installs fail because the post-install ln -s fails:

gmake[1]: Leaving directory /usr/ports/x11/xkeyboard-config/work/xkeyboard-config-1.0'
/bin/mkdir -p /var/lib/xkb
/bin/ln -s /var/lib/xkb /usr/local/share/X11/xkb/compiled
ln: /usr/local/share/X11/xkb/compiled/xkb: File exists
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/x11/xkeyboard-config.
>How-To-Repeat:
Attempt to install or upgrade the latest version of the port after a previous version was present.
>Fix:
Manually remove the "compiled" directory before install:

rm -rf /usr/local/share/X11/xkb/compiled

Correct the port's pkg-plist with the attached patch.
