Having trouble with viewvc package.

Hi.

I'm trying to create a binary package of viewvc that can be installed on
my web server. The port, however, seems to create a package with
the wrong dependency information.

I've tried various combinations of 'make package' and 'make package-
recursive' but I always end up with a package that does this:

# pkg_add viewvc*
pkg_add: could not find package python24-2.4.3_3 !
pkg_add: could not find package gdbm-1.8.3_3 !
pkg_add: could not find package apr-db42-1.2.7_1 !
pkg_add: could not find package python24-2.4.3_3 !
pkg_add: could not find package gdbm-1.8.3_3 !
pkg_add: could not find package apr-db42-1.2.7_1 !
pkg_add: autoload of dependency '/home/mc/subversion-python-1.4.3.tbz' failed!

Basically, it looks like the wrong packages are created. Where I should
get 'apr-db42', I actually get 'apr-db42-gdbm' or something similar, which
pkg_add then refuses to use. I've tried forcing with the '-f' flag, but I
don't like the potential future consequences of doing that, I'd like it
to work properly...

any ideas?
