Comment:

 Ok. MacPorts base compresses manpages in the destroot phase. It looks for
 any symlinks to those manpages and if found, recreates them to point to
 the compressed version. But this is only working if the existing symlink
 is relative; pure creates an absolute symlink.

 I changed the pure Makefile to make a relative symlink in r46240 along
 with updating the port to 0.17. I made the same change in pure-devel in
 r46243.

 I filed MacPorts base bug #18302 for the underlying problem that MacPorts
 doesn't properly re-create absolute manpage symlinks.

 Finally, I [http://groups.google.com/group/pure-
 lang/browse_thread/thread/1863fbdd28c8555c asked the author of pure] if he
 would consider making pure make a relative symlink in the first place.

 Thanks again for the bug report.
