After installing aide (from ports or from upstream pkg), I get the following
error:

% /usr/local/bin/aide
  ERROR: /usr/local/etc/aide.conf:75: unexpected character: ':' (line:
'database=file:///var/db/aide/databases/aide.db')

Stock aide.conf installed by the aide package.
Tried on 13-stable and 14-stable.  Same results.
