	current userland (19 July 2001), although it's vaguely possible that

>Description:
	When I attempted to install x11/gnome-python, it installed
	'-gnome-1.4.0' instead of 'py22-gnome-1.4.0' or 'py21-gnome-1.4.0'.
	I don't know exactly why, but updating make(1) to 1 Feb 2002 -current
	worked around the problem.
	Since pkgsrc is supposed to be version-agnostic, I don't believe that
	this is a fix, per se.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Not sure the easiest way, but it might be sufficient to build make
	from a NetBSD source date of 19Jul01 and use that to run 'make' in
	x11/gnome-python and observe what package it attempts to build.
>Fix:
	I don't know.  :-(
