Hi, Could someone tell me why I get this error?The port is broken because the pkg-plist is incorrect. Until it's corrected, the port will remain marked broken.

True.
If you really need to install it anyway, you can use
FORCE_PKG_REGISTER to get it to install.
Paul Schmehl (pauls@xxxxxxxxxxxx)
Actually, FORCE_PKG_REGISTER won't do it; this var is for
overriding an "already registered" package. The OP could
set TRYBROKEN in the environment, and the package would
attempt to build.
OP: since it's the plist that's broken, you may well be able
to install and use the port. However, and please hear me,
you may not be able to *uninstall* the port correctly, since
the package database won't know all of the files that were
installed by the port (because the 'packlist' is incorrect).
HTH,
Kevin Kinsey
