Description

When building the initial incarnation of libjpeg-turbo​, the ​buildbots said: 

Error: org.macports.activate for port libjpeg-turbo returned: Image error: /opt/local/share/doc/README already exists and does not belong to a registered port.  Unable to activate port libjpeg-turbo. Use 'port -f activate libjpeg-turbo' to force the activation.

This tells us that

  1. libjpeg-turbo was installing its documentation in the wrong directory (fixed in r101682), and
  2. some other port is installing its documentation in the wrong directory and is furthermore bypassing the destroot to do so.

Could you attach /opt/local/share/doc/README from any buildbot to this ticket, or let me know what's in it, so that we can identify the problem port and fix its documentation installation? Thanks.

I guess this is no longer relevant with the new buildbot.
