-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On 2005-03-24, Brooks Davis scribbled these curious markings: >> pkg_info: package bsdpan-Apache-DB-0.09 has no origin recorded >> pkg_info: package bsdpan-Apache-DBI-0.94 has no origin recorded >> pkg_info: package bsdpan-Apache-Module-0.11 has no origin recorded >> pkg_info: package bsdpan-Apache-Sandwich-2.05 has no origin recorded >> pkg_info: package bsdpan-Apache-Stage-1.20 has no origin recorded >> pkg_info: package bsdpan-Archive-Tar-1.23 has no origin recorded >>=20 > This means that those ports were installed directly rather then by the > ports collection. ... which is very easily fixed by either using the available ports, if any, or by making a new port.
