Subject: TROUBLE with X versions when making a new port

I'm trying to make a port for xmailwatcher, an X based mailwatcher
(!). I've checked with portlint and it says `looks fine'.

I then tried to follow the testing procedure in the Porter's Handbook.

 - make install         works fine.
 - make deinstall       gives me:

===>  Deinstalling for xmailwatcher-1.6
pkg_delete: couldn't open dependency file `/var/db/pkg/XFree86-3.3.6_7/+REQUIRED_BY'

but it does remove the files installed by the port. I can understand
this to some extent as I'm running X 4.0.2.

 - pkg_add xmailwatcher-1.6.tgz         gives me:

pkg_add: could not find package XFree86-3.3.6_7 !


HELP ! Can any one give me a few pointers please ? Here's the
Makefile:

# New ports collection makefile for: 	xmailwatcher
# Date created:				3 II 2001
# Whom:					Harry Newton
#
# $FreeBSD$
#

PORTNAME=		xmailwatcher
PORTVERSION=		1.6
CATEGORIES=		mail
MASTER_SITES=		ftp://ftp.dcs.ed.ac.uk/pub/X11/
DISTNAME=		xmailwatcher

MAINTAINER=		harry_newton@telinco.co.uk

MAN1=			xmailwatcher.1
USE_IMAKE=		yes
USE_XPM=		yes

post-install:
	strip ${PREFIX}/bin/xmailwatcher

.include <bsd.port.mk>

Thanks, Harry
