System: NetBSD fartmangler.redback.com 1.4.2 NetBSD 1.4.2 (EQUITY) #5: Thu Mar 23 12:49:57 PST 2000 dogcow@admin:/build/nbsrc/1.4.2/syssrc/sys/arch/i386/compile/EQUITY i386


>Description:
Some pkgsrc Makefiles have lines like this, taken from xv:

DEPENDS+=       ghostscript{,-nox11,-x11}-[0-9]*:../../print/ghostscript-x11

with ghostscript6, there are now /ghostscript/ _and_ /ghostscript-x11/
packages; because both of these are found, the error 
===> Validating dependencies for xv-3.10apl1
Installed package ghostscript{,-nox11,-x11}-[0-9]* is an a.out
a.out package.
You are building an a.out package, which will not inter-operate.
Please update the ghostscript{,-nox11,-x11}-[0-9]* package to a.out
*** Error code 1

will occur
	
>How-To-Repeat:
install pkgsrc ghostscript6, and attempt to install a program that
requires ghostscript in the manner described above.
	
>Fix:
For a workaround, you can simply delete the initial comma in the depends:

DEPENDS+=       ghostscript{-nox11,-x11}-[0-9]*:../../print/ghostscript-x11

However, it would probably be desirable to fix this problem in the
pkgsrc makefiles to properly handle multiply-found dependencies per line.
(and/or have a 'pkgsrc lint' program.)
