            Bug ID: 207527
           Summary: archivers/dpkg: incorrect /var/db/dpkg contents
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: pawel at FreeBSD.org

             Flags: maintainer-feedback?(pawel at FreeBSD.org)

The port creates some directories under /var/db/dpkg:

post-install:
        (cd ${STAGEDIR}${DPKGDIR} && ${MKDIR} available diversions \
                statoverride status)

This is incorrect as these all should be files (spied at some ubuntu system)
and in fact this breaks dpkg operation. These should either not be touched at
all (if dpkg can create them on its own) or some default versions should be
installed and handled via @sample.
