docbook updates fiasco continues...

[Scott Bennett]

     Wednesday's round of docbook updates broke all the docbook ports fixed
yesterday, plus other ports that depend upon docbook stuff.  On my system
the latter appear to include 

	sysutils/polkit
	graphics/colord
	graphics/giflib
	sysutils/policykit
	devel/git

Most/all appear to be due to a file that was installed missing perhaps only
a single character.  Here's an example.

Stop in /usr/ports/devel/git.

     After the last couple of days, I have to wonder how the updates to the
docbook ports were tested.  Also, I note that the instructions in
/usr/ports/UPDATING said to delete the old packages, rather than to replace
them with "portmaster -o" or some other procedure that would update the
dependencies properly.
