Thanks everyone who has responded.

Well it might be asked why I insist on building everything 
from /usr/pkgsrc, and not use the "pre-built" packages. I 
have in the past set myself the discipline of, in a new 
install of NetBSD, "living" only with those pre-built 
binaries.

My experience, alas, has been that sooner or later I run 
into a conflict or disjunction between those packages and 
something I may have (probably for unsound reasons) built 
from pkgsrc. So I have clung to my old (probably 
unsupportable) habit of building *everything* I need for my 
userland from pkgsrc.

It's now crystal-clear that I need to take a look at 
pkgtools and catch up with the 21st century here in NetBSD 
land.

THX!
