            Bug ID: 293019
           Summary: lang/Makefile still refers to lang/python-doc-pdf-a4
                    after the port was deleted
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: doctorwhoguy@gmail.com

Synth will not compile any ports due to the following error:

synth rebuild-repository
Regenerating flavor index: this may take a while ...
Scanning entire ports tree.
 progress: 50.09%              
culprit: lang/python-doc-pdf-a4
  Scan aborted because 'make' encounted an error in the Makefile.
  lang/python-doc-pdf-a4 (check /tmp/synth.scanner.36.out)
Flavor index generation failed: ports scan

After asking some questions in the IRC channel, I found out that
lang/python-doc-pdf-a4 was deleted a couple of days ago. Indeed my ports tree
does not have this port, and I do not have the port installed. But a reference
to it still exists in /usr/port/lang/Makefile. I could be wrong, but it seems
that this reference is the reason Synth will no longer build or install any
ports because it automatically tries to regenerate the flavor index after
updating the ports tree. Is this intended behavior in Synth? It seems like
Synth should be able to intelligently deal with something like this. In any
case, this reference in the Makefile apparently needs to be removed.
