I also noticed this stay symbolic link.
I recently used script to capture the output of the rebuild of this
port, and found this:
gmake[4]: Entering directory
`/usr/ports/graphics/graphviz/work/graphviz-2.20.3/tclpkg'
mkdir -p ;
usage: mkdir [-pv] [-m mode] directory_name ...
gmake[4]: [install-data-hook] Error 64 (ignored)
if test -w ; then \
(cd ; \
ln -s -f
/usr/local/lib/graphviz/lua/libgv_lua.so gv.so;) \
else \
echo "Warning: is not writable."; \
echo "Skipping system installation of lua binding."; \
fi
Without looking at the Makefile, it looks like the Makefile in tclpkg
is trying to create a directory, but has an empty variable, this empty
variable is then use with the cd command, which causes the cd command
to change to the users home directory (i.e. /root).
