For this particular package the upstream has renamed their repo.
That's why it is behaving weird.
https://github.com/rkd77/felinks redirects to 
https://github.com/rkd77/elinks

Ditto for distfile URLs.

So to keep the felinks name in pkgsrc we need to change DISTNAME
to elinks and set PKGNAME to felinks. This is an oddball case,
probably not worthwhile trying to support in url2pkg.
