>Description:
1.) The package list of the "kdemultimedia2" package is incorrect:

pkg_create: can't stat `/usr/X11R6/lib/libmpeg.so.0'
pkg_create: can't stat `/usr/X11R6/lib/libmpeg.so.0.3'
Creating gzip'd tar ball in '/src/packages/All/kdemultimedia-2.1.tgz'
tar: can't add file lib/libmpeg.so.0 : No such file or directory
tar: can't add file lib/libmpeg.so.0.3 : No such file or directory
pkg_create: tar command failed with code 512

2.) The "kdebase2" package uses a static package list for certain directories
    like e.g. "share/kde/applnk" which are known to be dynamically created
    depending on the installed software on the local system.

3.) The "gnome-print" and the "kdebase2" package both create "share/fonts"
    and try to remove it during deinstallation which causes error messages.

>How-To-Repeat:
1.) cd pkgsrc/x11/kde2
    make package

2.+3.) pkg_delete -r kdebase2

>Fix:
1.) Read section 8 (debugging) of "Packages.txt" and use the described
    techniques to verify the package list.

2.) Use dynamic package list creation technique from "kdebase" package.

3.) Put "share/fonts" in "mk/*.dist" and remove "@dirrm" commands from
    both packages.
