Guilmette >Release: FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE amd64 >Organization: entr0py >Environment: System: FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE amd64 >Description: If the "pkg_info -g" command is executed for a package/port whose installation included the creation of a symlink pointing to a non- existant file, then pkg_info will generate and print a misleading and incorrect error message saying that the (symlink) file in question "doesn't exist". This is misleading and incorrect. >How-To-Repeat: portsintstall ghostscript9-9.06_1 pkg_info -g ghostscript9-9.06_1 the result printed will include: pkg_info: /usr/local/share/ghostscript/9.06/Resource/CIDFont/fonts doesn't exist >Fix: Left as an exercise for the reader. But seriously folks, a proper fix should be fairly trivial. I will cook up patches, if requested. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
