FreeBSD greystone 2.2.8-RELEASE
>Description:
Several packages in the 2.2.8-STABLE directory require package 
XFree86-3.3.3.1 as a dependency.  Although I cannot find this XFree86
release as a "package", I had no problem installing/upgrading XFree86-3.3.3.1
via the standard extract facility.  However, the package database does
not seem to reflect that 3.3.3.1 is installed, and refuses to install
packages that need it.  Here is a typical error from a pkg_add:

Package `qt-1.42' depends on `XFree86-3.3.3.1'.
pkg_add: could not find package XFree86-3.3.3.1 !
pkg_add: 1 package addition(s) failed

How do I update the package dependency database or somehow get
packages that depend on XFree86-3.3.3.1 to install?


>How-To-Repeat:
Do a pkg_add of any package that depends on XFree86-3.3.3.1.

E.g. pkg_add qt-1.42.tgz
>Fix:
I suspect that adding XFree86-3.3.3.1 as a package or somehow updating
the package database would fix the problem.

 I believe this is already known about.  Making the directory in
 /var/db/pkg (mkdir /var/db/pkg/XFree86-3.3.3.1) should fix it.
