Howdy,

I did this...

# cd /usr/pkgsrc/x11/gnome
# make fetch-list > list2fetch.sh
# sh -x list2fetch.sh
# make

...and after some hours, got this error...

===> Required package autoconf>=2.50: NOT found
===> Verifying reinstall for ../../devel/autoconf
===> Installing for autoconf-2.13
===>  autoconf-2.13 is already installed - perhaps an older version?
*** If so, you may wish to ``pkg_delete autoconf-2.13'' and install
*** this package again by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly,
*** or use ``make update'' to upgrade it and all of its dependencies.
*** If you really wish to overwrite the old package of autoconf-2.13
*** without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER"
*** in your environment or the "make install" command line.
*** Error code 1

Stop.

...then went to look for autoconf-2.5 or higher. But netbsd.org's
software listing for ../devel/autoconf shows only version 2.13. 
I don't know where else to get autoconf 2.13, or if it would be
wise to get it from somewhere else.

So I searched GNATS, and found nothing on it. Then I filled out a
send-pr on it. Hope I filled it out right.

Thanks,
