            Bug ID: 227483
           Summary: ports-mgmt/portmaster fails trying to process repo
                    file 'digests.txz'
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest

Trying to clean packages in the package folder where a repo was created with 

$ pkg repo /var/ports/packages

portmaster fails with the following message

===>>> Empty origin in /var/ports/packages/digests.txz
===>>> Aborting update

Apparently, it treats the file 'digests.txz' like a compiled package (and maybe
it would have also done so with 'meta.txz' and 'packagesite.txz', had it not
failed on the first one).

If these file names are hard-coded into the repo system, perhaps they should be
known to portmaster too? These files are even stored in 'packages' root folder
rather than in 'packages/All' where portmaster normally saves them. It seems
that portmaster should not look in the root folder, because no packages should
be found there.
