>Description:
After updating my pkgsrc tree (12/16/01) and doing a 'make clean' 
in the a2ps directory, two bogons appear when I issue the
'make' command.  Configuration appears to work ok, but then:

  1) As a last message, configure reports that it believes I
    use A4 paper, despite PAPERSIZE being set to Letter in
    both /etc/mk.conf and /usr/pkgsrc/mk/bsd.pkg.defaults.mk
    This even occurs when I use an '=' operator rather than '=?'
    to set PAPERSIZE in both files.

  2) Just after building begins, there is a call to sed which
     has a quoted script, but no input file, hanging the build:

     ===> build-message [a2ps-4.13.0.2] ===> Building for a2ps-4.13.0.2
     /usr/bin/touch /lfs1/pkgsrc/print/a2ps/work/a2ps-4.13/doc/*.info
     /usr/bin/touch /lfs1/pkgsrc/print/a2ps/work/a2ps-4.13/doc/*.dvi
     make  all-recursive
     Making all in auxdir
     Making all in m4
     rm -f Makefile.am Makefile.amt
     sed -n '1,/^##m4-files-begin/p'  > Makefile.amt


>How-To-Repeat:
     This persists across 'make clean' commands. Happens every time,
     whether at console or in GUI, in bash or tcsh, with makefile
     shell set to /bin/sh or /usr/pkg/bin/bash (as suggested in the
     most closely related problem on the a2ps Known Bugs site).

>Fix:
Not known (tried messing with it a bit but to no avail).
     The a2ps site doesn't have the problem listed on their Known
     Bugs page.
