>Description:
1.  octave-forge-base is marked BROKEN because of pkg-plist errors.  I have checked it, and it seems to me that pkg-plist is correct.
  However, the octave port seems to me to have various pkg-plist errors, especially if it is installed from a package rather than ports.  It looks like there is a confusion between api-32 and api-37 directories, probably a typo that crept in.

2.  The octave forge ports don't properly install the octave-forge files properly, issing errors of the form:

cp: not found
cp: not found
cp: not found
cp: not found
cp: not found
warning: package benchmark is empty

This particular error will probably not be seen by QAT, but will be noticed by users trying to use the port.

>How-To-Repeat:
	
>Fix:

1.  Please remove the BROKEN status from octave-forge-base.
