Note the subject line: lang/php5-extensions doesn't register installed files. It doesn't say install. I could see that the files were installed. Maybe this is an issue in pkg. I don't know. It seems reasonable to expect metaports that accept "make config" options could be queried as to how they were configured/what was installed as a result of their config/install process. When a port that relies on other ports says they are not installed, after repeated uninstall/reinstall cycles, one begins to wonder what's broken. Sadly, a reboot resolved it. Not sad that it got resolved but that it took a reboot, the classic Windows resolution strategy. Smells very POLA-ish to me.help
