On Mon, Mar 19, 2007 at 02:52:21PM -0400 I heard the voice of
Joe Marcus Clarke, and lo! it spake thus:
>

> Failed to rewrite /var/db/pkg/totem-gstreamer-2.16.5/+CONTENTS: Command failed [exit code 1]: "sed" "\"s|^\\\\(@comment[\"" "\"\"" "\"][\"" "\"\"" "\"]*ORIGIN:\\\\).*\\\$|\\\\1multimedia/totem|\"" "<" "/var/db/pkg/totem-gstreamer-2.16.5/+CONTENTS" ">" "/tmp/+CONTENTS.71426.0"

FWIW, I saw this happen on one or two boxes a week or two ago.
Couldn't make heads or tales of where it was coming from, but manually
reinstalling the port in question made it go away, so I just mentally
filed it away.
