Hello, everyone, I have a fairly strange error, that has popped up on both machines where I have used portupgrade (both 4.8-RELEASE boxes). Here is an example output:> [...]

Note how Mesa's entry begins immediately after the last character of BitTorrent's.
While I actually don't know why the terminating newline is missing in some cases I noticed that there was an MFC to RELENG_4 a couple of days ago that makes 'pkg_info' add a newline if the comment line doesn't have one. You may want to take a look at FreeBSD's CVS repository (src/usr.sbin/pkg_install/info/show.c) in order to build and install a fixed 'pkg_info'.
Or if it doesn't happen often you could just as well edit the respective '+COMMENT' file in the '/var/db/pkg' hierarchy. The pragmatic approach. ;-)
