 At this point in time, what I have to do every time something requires a 
 rebuild of shared-mime-info is to wait for the build to crash, then to 
 edit pkgsrc/databases/shared-mime-info/work/shared-mime-info/intltool-update
 and remove the following lines :
 
  "--flag\=g_strdup_printf:1:c-format",
                            
 "--flag\=g_string_printf:2:c-format",                                                                                                                                                     
 
                            "--flag\=g_string_append_printf:2:c-format", 
                            "--flag\=g_error_new:3:c-format",
                            "--flag\=g_set_error:4:c-format",
                            "--flag\=g_markup_printf_escaped:1:c-format",
                            "--flag\=g_log:3:c-format",
                            "--flag\=g_print:1:c-format",
                            "--flag\=g_printerr:1:c-format",
                            "--flag\=g_printf:1:c-format",
                            "--flag\=g_fprintf:2:c-format",
                            "--flag\=g_sprintf:2:c-format",
                            "--flag\=g_snprintf:3:c-format",
                            "--flag\=g_scanner_error:2:c-format",
                            "--flag\=g_scanner_warn:2:c-format",
 
 Starting line 760. Then make again and it works.
 
 Not really the way I imagine things for NetBSD users in general...
 
 It would indeed be better for this critical package (which breaks GNOME 
 every time while it is not fixed) to be properly patched.
