Seems to work fine on 8.4, both i386 and amd64, so it appears to be
sensitive to something in base.

Back when I was still using portupgrade to build packages, I didn't have
trouble building the package, but portupgrade would fail during the
deinstall phase for 2mandvd. I think it was complaining about non-ASCII
characters in the plist, but I don't know where the error was coming
from. I didn't have trouble manually doing the deinstall with pkg
delete, and then I could run portupgrade -Np. I didn't think of trying
pkg-static to see if it behaved differently.
