Hi! Don't know if this is the place but here it goes:

While trying to pkg_add gnomedesktop (go.bsd packages)
docbook-xsl refuses to register ( has a bogus filename! )
the same for scrollkeeper.. even forcing installation
of all packages and dependecies, I end up with a broken gnome
( gnome-session is missin...)
I was just going to write about the same problem.  The bogus file has
a single quote in its name (...windows'.html).  And I did try to build 
it
from the port, and it did not work.
The relevant fix is here:
  
<http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/usr.sbin/pkg_install/add/extract.
c#rev1.25.2.11>

You might want to try sysutils/pkg_install, they could be able to add 
the packages. You should import pkg_install from 5.x anyway, since a) 
I'll MFC them soon, b) they are supposed to compile with GCC 3.4 and c) 
pkg_version is much faster than the perl equivalent.
