>Description:

While updating the system today, something, possibly operator error,
removed the contents of pkg_install from /usr/pkg. (Though not the
entry in /var/db/pkg. Go figure.) Haven't finished tracking that down
yet, but it triggers the following behavior:

	# cd /usr/pkgsrc/any/package
	# make fetch
	=> Required installed package digest>=20010302: digest-20060826 found
	Syntax error: "(" unexpected
	*** Error code 2
	Stop.

This turns out to be because it's trying to say that the package tools
are out of date, but failing.

>How-To-Repeat:

Erase pkg_install and try to build something.

>Fix:

This patch makes it behave. I haven't tracked down why it's necessary,
but it's presumably connected to the new can-be-built-here logic.

(It might be better to figure out why and sort that out than to apply
this patch, but this is at least a workaround.)
