The PYEASYINSTALL_ARCHDEP=YES port option makes packages [1] that can
only be installed on the same specific patch level of FreeBSD.

For example if you build net/py-ldap2 as a package on FreeBSD
7.1-RELEASE-p3 then it won't install on a FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE-p4 system.

PR: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=133081

Any suggestions for how to proceed with fixing this problem? I have
patches, but I think that's just the first step.

Cheers,

Stef
