           Summary: The "Packages" link in ports.freebsd.org doesn't
                    always work
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest

Hello.

When I search for some ports in ports.freebsd.org, if I click on "Packages", I
get a "Sorry, nothing found." error.
For other ports, the page successfully displays a long description and a list
of packages for all supported FreeBSD versions and architectures.

I think the website doesn't like it when the port's category has a dash in it.

For example, these links work:
https://ports.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?stype=pkg&query=audio/oaml
https://ports.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?stype=pkg&query=graphics/aaphoto

While these don't:
https://ports.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?stype=pkg&query=x11-fonts/spleen
https://ports.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?stype=pkg&query=x11-drivers/xorgxrdp
https://ports.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?stype=pkg&query=x11-servers/xorg-server
https://ports.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?stype=pkg&query=x11-fm/xfe
