>Description:


  Port building system fails when package database directory doesn't exist.
  I don't think, it is good behavior and directory for package database
  shoudl be created in such case.

  Here is output of `make install' when PKG_DBDIR doesn't exist.


%make DISTDIR=/usr/home/lev/distfiles PREFIX=/usr/home/lev/local PKG_DBDIR=/usr/home/lev/var/db/pkg install
===#  Installing for apache-1.3.28+30.18
PKG_PREFIX=/usr/home/lev/local /bin/sh pkg-install apache-1.3.28+30.18 PRE-INSTALL
===#   Generating temporary packing list
===#  Checking if russian/apache13 already installed
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/home/lev/FreeBSD-commiter/pcvs/ports/russian/apache13.
%ls /usr/home/lev/var/db/pkg
ls: /usr/home/lev/var/db/pkg: No such file or directory
%

>How-To-Repeat:

  Try to install any port with non-existent PKG_DBDIR
