I would have fixed this myself but i found out it is Perl, not C, and
i also have too much to do today  (:

I used pkg_info -c to produce a script for updating ports.

Anyway, when outputting the path to a package that is 'unknown in
index', the path is the path of the package previously processed.  For
example, after showing the info, the pathname is obviously the path to
mc (/usr/ports/misc/mc).  The next entry is mergemaster.  While the
command to update is correct, the script outputs 'cd
/usr/ports/misc/mc' and attempts to make megermaster from that
location, which obviously will not work.  Has anyone else seen this? I
just cvsupped today and it hasn't been fixed, if it truly is a bug.
