"The port leaves ${PREFIX} in a state that is not consistent with the mtree definition after pkg_delete. This usually means some files are missing from PLIST. It could also mean that your installation scripts create files or directories not properly deleted by the deinstallation scripts. Another possibility is that your port is deleting some directories it is not supposed to, or incorrectly modifying some directory's permission." -- WXS
