Hi.

After doing a "sup -sv", "lintpkgsrc -i" said that some
files/directories could not be found. This occurred on 2 independant
systems.

# lintpkgsrc -i
Scanning pkgsrc Makefiles: .....Cannot open

On the other system, 4 other files couldn't be found.

None of the listed packages (the ones which show files/directories
missing) is installed, or was ever touched!

Why do those messages appear?
