>Description:

If the "pkg_info -g" command is executed by a non-root user, then in such
a cases, some of teh files to be checked may have permissions set so that
they are not readable by ordinary users.  In such cases, "pkg_info -g"
will improperly and incorrectly report each such file with a message
saying "doesn't exist" rather than "not readable by you".

This is misleading and incorrect.

>How-To-Repeat:

portinstall dbus-1.6.8
pkg_info -g dbus-1.6.8

Result will be:

pkg_info: /usr/local/libexec/dbus-daemon-launch-helper doesn't exist

>Fix:

Left as an exercise for the reader.

But seriously folks, a proper fix should be fairly trivial.  I will cook
up patches, if requested.
