Done, and everything's fine now. Thanks very much for your help. I'll
know to run pkg_admin check in the future. Sorry for the misdirection. I
really do try to make sure I've done my homework before filing a PR.
I haven't deinstalled any packages recently (mostly I'm building the
machine).
My theory:
libebml was installed previously, but at that time it didn't install its
headers (due to an error in the package). Later, the pkgsrc tree was
updated with correct instructions, but of course the package remained
registered. Doing the admin check showed that the installed set didn't
match the current packing list.
Looking at the CVS history, though, I don't see any support for my
theory....
Thanks again and regards,
