hi all,

i wanted to install a package on an box, which i built out of the portstree via "make package". everything goes fine and the package is available in "/usr/ports/packages/i386/cdrom/" and "../ftp/". i copied the .tgz to the machine, where i wanted to install it on, but it failed with the following error:

# pkg_add nut-2.0.0p0.tgz
Unknown element: @pkgpath sysutils/nut,no_cgi

i looked untarred it and looked through +CONTENTS and found following lines regarding @pkgpath:

@pkgpath sysutils/nut,no_cgi
@pkgpath sysutils/nut,snmp
@pkgpath sysutils/nut,no_cgi,snmp

in other packages' +CONTENT, e.g. wget from ftp.openbsd.org, there are no lines referring to this pkgpath. am i missing something in the buildprocess for a package? i read the man page of bsd.port.mk(5), ports(7) and pkg_add(1) but didn't find anything regarding this element and how to turn this of in the process of "make package" and i didn't find anything in the archives of marc.theaimsgroup.com regarding this problem.

can anyone point me in the right direction?

tia,
marc
