+AUTHOR: blackend@FreeBSD.org
+
+The misc/freebsd-doc-* ports have been updated to the new doc toolchain,
+and use a somewhat different arrangement of directories and symlinks,
+which pkg 1.17 does not handle well.
+
+Users are encouraged to delete the misc/freebsd-doc-* ports, then
+reinstall the new ones without using the pkg upgrade facility.
