net/dictd: @exec in pkg-plist doesn't work?

[Dryice Liu]

Hi,

I'm using net/dictd and I found if I deinstall - install it, or
portupgrade it, it will overwrite my /usr/local/etc/dictd.conf with a
default one. I'm trying to fix this but failed (see my patch below)

Basically I'm install the default one as etc/dictd.conf.sample, and
use @exec/@unexec to make or copy a etc/dictd.conf. However, only the
@unexec works as expected. The @exec clause doesn't work, it didn't
copy a etc/dictd.conf with clean installation. Could anyone help me to
find out why? I see this is used in many other ports like ftp/lftp and
net/GeoIp. Thanks!

BTW, is there any tool to help debug this kind of problem?
