Problem

Trying to update gnumeric to version 1.12.50_1, the following errors occurred during installation:

pkg-static: Unable to access file /usr/ports/math/gnumeric/work/stage/usr/local/lib/gnumeric/1.12.50/plugins/perl-func/perl_func.pl:No such file or directory
pkg-static: Unable to access file /usr/ports/math/gnumeric/work/stage/usr/local/lib/gnumeric/1.12.50/plugins/perl-func/plugin.xml:No such file or directory
pkg-static: Unable to access file /usr/ports/math/gnumeric/work/stage/usr/local/lib/gnumeric/1.12.50/plugins/perl-loader/perl_loader.so:No such file or directory
pkg-static: Unable to access file /usr/ports/math/gnumeric/work/stage/usr/local/lib/gnumeric/1.12.50/plugins/perl-loader/plugin.xml:No such file or directory

This happens because the PERL option is OFF, but the abovementioned files are not conditional in pkg-plist

Solution

Edit pkg-plist to add %%PERL%% in front of the lines in question.
