I believe PKG_PATH is where to go to fetch binary files.  That can be /usr/packages/All if one is reinstalling.

I looked in /BETA1/pkgsrc/doc/pkgsrc.txt for PKG_PATH and PKGPATH.

It looks like neither PKG_PATH nor PKGPATH should be in mk.conf .  I deleted that line, and now make show-depends-options works again.

I mounted my NetBSD 8.99.37 i386 installation partition to compare /etc/mk.conf ; neither PKGPATH nor PKG_PATH was there.

You're right that having both PKG_PATH and PKGPATH leads to confusion.

Now I have to see if gmime3 circular dependency shows on any package I try to build.  I was thinking of pkgtools/pbulk.

I could also see if the problems with pkg_rolling-replace still persist.

Thanks for the help!
