System: NetBSD mofo 1.6I NetBSD 1.6I (GENERIC) #0: Sat Sep 28 14:58:16 EST 2002 root@mofo:/raid0/netbsd/current/20020928/i386/obj/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC i386

>Description:
I attempted to install www/netscape7 on NetBSD-current/i386, but it
breaks during the install phase:
> make install
===> Installing for netscape7-0
===> Becoming root@mofo to install netscape7-0.
sudo install -d -o root -g wheel -m 555 /usr/pkg/lib/netscape/netscape7
cd /usr/tmp/www/netscape7/work.NetBSD-1.6I-i386/netscape-installer/dest && /bin/pax -rw . /usr/pkg/lib/netscape/netscape7
install -c -o root -g wheel -m 555 /usr/tmp/www/netscape7/work.NetBSD-1.6I-i386/netscape7 /usr/pkg/bin
/bin/chmod 755 /usr/pkg/bin/netscape7
cd /usr/pkg/emul/linux//usr/tmp/www/netscape7/work.NetBSD-1.6I-i386/netscape-installer/dest && /bin/pax -rw . /usr/pkg/lib/netscape/netscape7
cd: can't cd to /usr/pkg/emul/linux//usr/tmp/www/netscape7/work.NetBSD-1.6I-i386/netscape-installer/dest
*** Error code 2
It also breaks if you run 'make install' without first running 'make',
since Netscape 7 is started but the installer exits. This causes
pax to complain that files have changed underneath it.
Perhaps it would be useful to use the full Netscape 7 distfile rather
than the installer stub? "building" this package several times meant
downloading the install files several times. It is, however, quite a bit
larger, so it might be worth giving the user a choice via a variable
in bsd.pkg.defaults.mk.
The full installer is at:
ftp://ftp.netscape.com/pub/netscape7/english/7.0/unix/linux22/sea/netscape-i686-pc-linux-gnu-sea.tar.gz
>How-To-Repeat:
see above.
>Fix:
This fixes it for me:
