If I understand this correctly from:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/MOVED
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/MOVED.diff?r1=1.1586;r2=1.1587;f=h
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/MOVED.diff?r1=1.1587;r2=1.1588;f=h
The MOVED file was updated perhaps wrongly at first and then corrected.
So we who ran pkgdb -fF in the half a day before the correction would be
thrown off in this case.
Question:
Would an additional line had solved it, like:
www/neon2|www/neon26|2008-05-05|Moved straight to www/neon26
?

Lars
