It looks like as if you have something in your pkg_comp setup that breaks the definition of the sysconfdir. What do you have in the PKG_SYSCONFBASE variable in the pkg_comp configuration file? You can also try salo@'s suggestion: chroot to the sandbox and build the package by hand. From there you can grab some more information doing something like: make show-vars VARNAMES="PKG_SYSCONFDIR CONFIGURE_ARGS" -- Julio M.
