Something rotten in ports (was Re: package building failure irritation)

[xorquewasp at googlemail.com]

This is a complete lot of how to reproduce the various errors I've
seen with 'make package-recursive'. I've checked the pointyhat logs
and there are no errors logged for the packages involved here. There
seems to be a bug somewhere in ports. I've used inkscape as a scapegoat
here but the errors occur with many, many ports.

There is no ZFS or nullfs involved here (apart from the read-only nullfs
mount that ezjail uses to share /usr/bin and the like).

I've used ezjail-admin to create jails.

$ sudo ezjail-admin create 8.0-amd64-pkg_viper-2 127.1.0.11
$ sudo ezjail-admin onestart 8.0-amd64-pkg_viper-2
$ sudo jexec `jls | grep pkg_viper-2 | awk '{print $1}'` sh

jail# mkdir /var/ports/work
jail# mkdir /var/ports/tree
jail# mkdir /var/ports/packages
jail# mkdir /var/ports/distfiles
jail# vi /etc/make.conf
DISTDIR=       /var/ports/distfiles

Of course, at the end of inkscape.log:
