>Description:
        pkg_add (or something related to packages) is not properly inserting
        a newline in the description field shown in pkg_info.  I am not
        sure if this is a bug in a) the package itself, b) pkg_add, or
        c) pkg_info.

        Normally when a package is installed, you will see something like
        this:

procmail-3.22_2     A local mail delivery agent
python-2.2.3        An interpreted object-oriented programming language
qpopper-4.0.5_1     Berkeley POP 3 server (now maintained by Qualcomm)

        This bug causes the following to happen:

procmail-3.22_2     A local mail delivery agent
python-2.2.3        An interpreted object-oriented programming languageqpopper-4.0.5_1     Berkeley POP 3 server (now maintained by Qualcomm)

        This also applies to portinstall/portupgrade (when using -P).

        This is NOT specific to python.  I can do this with a multitude
        of packages, they all do the same thing.

        Compiling from source (e.g. make install) does NOT do this.
