problem with new /usr/ports/archivers/rpm checkin

[Aaron Levin]

this check in just happened today.

i am trying to install /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base which depends on
/usr/ports/archivers/rpm.

this had been working but suddenly, this new check in results in this
message when i try to build (make) /usr/ports/archivers/rpm.  i get the
following message:

===>   linux_base-7.1_5 depends on executable: rpm - not found
===>    Verifying install for rpm in /usr/ports/archivers/rpm
===>  rpm-3.0.6_7 is marked as broken: unknown LIBTOOL version: .
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/archivers/rpm.
*** Error code 1

why is this marked as broken?  can you please tell me how to resolve this.
i have to update some production machines to this linux7 this weekend.

thank you in advance for the help!
