>Description:
        building devel/autogen attempts to execute /usr/pkg/bin/bash
        for which no dependency is listed.

>How-To-Repeat:
        pkg_delete -r bash 2>/dev/null  # No, you probably shouldn't...
        cd ..../pkgsrc/devel.autogen
        make install

        Expect to see ...

        followed by a nunch of other errors, most probably caused by the
        script bash was intended to run not doing what it was intended to
        do.

>Fix:
        Ideally, discover that hash is not really needed for the script
        in question, and replace "usr/pkg/bin/bash" by "${SHELL}" or
        something.   Otherswise, if bash really is needed then
        add a dependency.

        The easy workaround is just to install shells/bash before
        building autogen (manually satisfying the dependency).
        That works, but ...

        Please bupm PKGREVISION when this is fixed, otherwise there
        will be binary packages existing that happen to have worked
        because bash was installed (including mine, that I generated to
        test the "manually add bash" workaround) but which don't
        contain any dependency upon bash (for all I know, there may be
        run time dependencies upon it, as well as the build time one
        noted above).
