Hi Markus,

The easiest way to get past this is to run the 3 commands described in
this email (after reverting your changes to mk/):

  https://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-users/2016/01/25/msg022870.html

You can follow that thread for more background behind the issue and
why we can't easily handle this automatically.

Sorry for the breakage, but it's a one-time fix to get past, and
hopefully will be the last such change we'll need to make.

Cheers,
