Seems there is no precompiled package (see the package location
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8-stable/All/
or whatever matches your platform and OS version). But the ports
p5-FuzzyOcr and p5-FuzzyOcr-devel are still present (at least in
my not up-to-date ports tree) - have you tried installing from a
port instead?

Not directly.  As many pkgs as possible are built from ports,
irrespective of who the maintainers are.  An unmaintained port is
however less likely to have any issues attended to promptly.

If you want to see exactly why no pkg exists, use portsmon:

http://portsmon.freebsd.org/portoverview.py?category=mailportname=p5-FuzzyOcr

and the reason is that the graphics/giflib port -- one of the
dependencies -- failed to work properly.  On 9.0-RELEASE it shows the
problem is to do with XML validation, and there's an open PR about that
which is assigned to the graphics/giflib maintainer. There should be a
fix fairly soon.

Cheers,

Matthew

I was migrating from v7 to v8 when I saw this a few nights ago. The upgrade
was going speedily well till I hit that. Like I said I was able to get
through it by building the port.
