Subject:   Problems w/index generation for packages and 3.1-RELEASE
Message-ID:  <199904271729.NAA00342@bmcgover-pc.cisco.com>

I'm seeing a _really_ strange problem with 3.1-RELEASE that I've just burned
two days trying to figure out, and I just can't see where I'm being stupid.

I'm using a standard 3.1-RELEASE system here, adding a few of my own device
drivers, and building a release.

For packages, I'm taking the 3.1-RELEASE /usr/ports, commenting out the
ones I don't want, then running a "make package index", thereby generating
packages, and the INDEX file.

I roll everything on to my FTP server, and do an install (as I have with 3.0
about a four dozen times in the last couple of months). Everything works
fine until I get to the packages. Then, on particular packages, it complains
that it can't find a dependency, and doesn't install the package. Now, this
wouldn't be weird in and of itself, except that the dependency its looking
for is the first CATEGORY (ie - archivers, unless all of the archiver ports
are commented out, at which time it'll look for astro, and so on...). 

I would say that based on my last run (INDEX file is below) that it had to do
with the applications in question actually requiring a dependency. ddd,
fvwm, jed, and xlockmore don't work. 

Anyone care to try to put a finger on this? At this point, I just don't get it,
and there doesn't appear to be anything about this in the ERRATA file, or
on the mailing list.

PS - I apologize for the "wide" formatting of the index file. However, I wanted
to maintain it as consistenly as possible, to remove the possibility of spacing
being the culprit.
