Fix orphaned port?

nsayer

nsayer

Code: 
[quack:ports/mail/sendmail] nsayer% pkg version -vIL=
...
sendmail-8.15.2_10                 ?   orphaned: mail/sendmail
...
[quack:ports/mail/sendmail] nsayer% ls /usr/ports/mail/sendmail/
Makefile       bsd.milter.mk  distinfo       files/         pkg-descr      pkg-message    pkg-plist

I've tried various permutations of pkg set -o, but all of them either complain that I'm not using -o properly or they don't do anything at all.

What am I missing?
 
The package gets named depending on the options you've enabled. This changed some time ago and yours is still using the 'old' name.
 
It actually had a qualified name at one point. I flattened it with pkg set as one attempt at fixing this. I can put it back, but either way it still claims to be orphaned.
 
Are you using your own repository? You'll get that message if your repository doesn't have that package for whatever reason.
 
There is no package named sendmail any more, the package is named sendmail+tls+sasl2.
 
You can always take a look at http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:11:amd64/latest/All/ for example. That's the repository you end up in. As this is the latest repository there's always a chance some port failed to build (for whatever reason). If a package is missing in the repository due to build failures it will also show up as 'orphaned'.

You used to be able to lookup the build status here: http://portsmon.freebsd.org/ That used to be a good place to start looking. But the scripts have been broken for a long time now and don't work, unfortunately.
