FreeBSD packager.bs.l 9.1-STABLE FreeBSD 9.1-STABLE #0: Thu Jun  6 18:31:52 CEST 2013     [...]  i386
>Description:
1. The simple build'n'install creates three broken links:

# cd /usr/ports/print/tex-aleph
# make install
# find -L /usr/local/man -type l -exec ls -la {} \;
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  12 16 Sep 16:20 /usr/local/man/man1/odvicopy.1.gz -> dvicopy.1.gz
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  12 16 Sep 16:20 /usr/local/man/man1/odvitype.1.gz -> dvitype.1.gz
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  11 16 Sep 16:20 /usr/local/man/man1/otangle.1.gz -> tangle.1.gz

2. The MLINKS mechanism in "bsd.port.mk" is obfuscated and inappropriate for bug fixing.
