Difficulty building kde3.2 packages: tar error code 512

[Adrian Waters]

Hello all.

I'm having difficulty making KDE 3.2 packages on my system, and I'm not 
sure if it is something to do with the ports system, or something I 
did.  Hopefully someone can enlighten me.

This system did have KDE 3.1.4 on it (not used or configured as this is 
a reasonably new install of 5.2-RELEASE that I haven't fully set up 
yet).  I decided that I might as well start from scratch with KDE3.2, 
so I did a pkg_delete on KDE 3.1.4.  This could be the "something I 
did"?

Portinstall seems to be doing its thing, but when it comes time to 
making packages in both kdegraphics-3.2.0_1 and kdeartwork-3.2.0 it 
fails with a tar error code 512 and a lot of files that it claims it 
can't find.  For instance, in kdeartwork-3.2.0:

Note that portversion reports that the ports are installed, but I'm 
wondering if they are missing files.

Anyone have any ideas that can help this FreeBSD newbie figure out what 
is going on?

Thanks,

Adrian.
