Ok, I don't deal with packages very often. Every time I try one, it tells me "can't find package." I asked jkh what was up (as the port was otherwise fine), and was told this looked like a bug. So, given that I've got a port that portlint says is fine, and the make install/deinstall/reinstall all work fine, and 'make package' leaves me with a .tgz file, why is this one failing? The port in question was just submitted as t1utils-1.8. I can send you a copy as well if you'd like.
