I tried CVSup'ing my /home/ncvs mirror of FreeBSD's sources. Then, I
removed my /usr/ports directory and did a:
# cd /usr
# cvs checkout -R -d /home/ncvs checkout ports
to get myself a checkout of the most recent ports/ tree. I still get
the same error, and /usr/ports/net/netcat contains:
# cd /usr/ports/net/netcat ; ls -R
/usr/ports/net/netcat

That's what I tried to avoid when I removed (rm -fr) my old /usr/ports
before the last checkout of ports/, but it didn't seem to change
anything. It seems my /home/ncvs is in a funny state, though, because
other ports have more strange problems. For instance, when I do:
# cd /usr/ports/net/ircII
# make
make: no target to make.
# ls Makefile
ls: Makefile: no such file or directory
I think I need to check what my supfile has brought to my /home/ncvs
lately.
