>Description:
Port textproc/iso8879 will not install.  The command pkgdb -F is required for portversion to work on a fresh install, and it reports an error.

Investigating more, I discovered that the iso8879 directory under /usr/local/share/sgml is created every time the make install command is executed.  In it is a catalog file.  I do not know what function it has, but it's apparently creating it and then complaining that it's there.  Renaming the file and trying again produces no difference - the file (and entire directory) is created by make install and the subsequent failure occurs.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to install textproc/iso8879 on 8.0
