System: FreeBSD minerva.hh.kew.com 4.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE #0: Sat Jun 23 09:50:15 EDT 2001 root@:/usr/scratch/obj/usr/src/sys/MINERVA i386


	
>Description:

	Invocation of pkg_update routine causes an error message
	reporting a missing +REQUIRED_BY file:

	    minerva,/usr/ports/textproc/ispell,123# make package
		.
		. 	(build runs)
		.
	    minerva,/usr/ports/textproc/ispell,123# pkg_update ispell-3.2.04_1.tgz
	    Updating ispell packages to version 3.2.04
	    Can't open /var/db/pkg/ispell-3.2.04/+REQUIRED_BY, No such file or
	    directory

	 This happens even if the same package is run twice in a
	 row (one would hope if the first pass cleanup encountered
	 an error, it was cleaned by the first pass install).

		    

>How-To-Repeat:
	
	Execute pkg_update on a port built package.

>Fix:

	Don't issue the error message if the +REQUIRED_BY is an optional
	component of the package database; otherwise, tweak the port
	build process to always create a +REQUIRED_BY component.
