>Description:
smartmontools, if installed using a binary package, will not run on 9.0-RC1:

Shared object "libcam.so.5" not found, required by "smartctl".

My first BSD install, my first bug report, so please forgive me if I'm missing something obvious here. But on my system, there is only libcam.so.6. And appaently there is no dependency at all in the port to indicate that a specific version of that library would be required.
>How-To-Repeat:
1. pkg_add smartmontools
2. smartctl --help
>Fix:
Install from source using port.
