Synopsis: mutt port from CVS doesn't build-- patches/ directory present

State-Changed-From-To: open->feedback

State-Changed-Why: 
Can you try updating the mutt port directory again, but this time using
the -P option to 'cvs update'?  With the 'prune' option, CVS prunes
(does not create) empty directories, i.e. directories where all files
have been removed.

Without the -P option, 'cvs update' would detect that there is
a mutt/patches/ subdirectory in the repository, and consequently
create it.  Although this directory is empty, its very presence confuses
the Ports Collection build infrastructure into thinking that you actually
have an old port layout from the times when the MD5 checksums were kept
in an md5 file and the patches were kept in a patches/ subdirectory instead
of files/.

In short, try 'cvs update -P' (or add 'update -P' to your ~/.cvsrc file)
and see if it helps.
