            Bug ID: 211953
           Summary: r420340 breaks installation and packaging of empty
                    directories
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Ports Framework
          Assignee: portmgr@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: dim@FreeBSD.org
                CC: freebsd-ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org

I just got bitten by a nasty side effect of r420340 [1] ("Move USE_BDB
and PLIST_DIRSTRY to the unsupported section, all the ports have been
converted").

The effect is that empty directories don't get installed or packaged
anymore, and this can lead to all kinds of interesting errors.  In my
case, for example, xmlcatmgr failed to install correctly, because it
couldn't find /usr/local/share/xml.

It looks like r420340 erroneously removes usage of ${PLIST_DIRS}, and so the
PLIST_DIRS do not end up in the .PLIST.mktmp files anymore.

This needs to be fixed ASAP, since it breaks many packages.
