Re: pkgin fails to build with pkgsrc current

Greg,

Thank you for responding. Yes I did make clean clean-depends in both 
pkgtools/pkgin and net/libfetch.

I did "make install" from /usr/pkgsrc/net/libfetch, and it failed. I do 
have a "working", albeit a little bloated /etc/mk.conf file that i 
copied from the default directory. I did remove all the stuff that is 
not needed per the documentation (gasp! I read the docs!).

I did get libfetch to compile by removing this line from the PLIST file:

$ diff PLIST PLIST.ORG
3a4
> man/cat3/fetch.0

BUT, now pkgin fails:

Stop.

*** Error code 1

Still hunting.

90% of my problems are due to ignorance, the other 10% is because I just don't know any better.
