Re: plist-check not reporting orphaned files present in a @comment

Hi,

I had similar problems, if mode modifier is used in pkg-plist.
This line leads to error, if EXAMPLES is unset:
@(,,755) %%PORTEXAMPLES%%%%EXAMPLESDIR%%/bin/clca
This line goes without error, if EXAMPLES is unset:
%%PORTEXAMPLES%%@(,,755) %%EXAMPLESDIR%%/bin/clca

Regards, Sergei
