>Description:
        I use pkg_comp with libkver to similate a 4.0 release environment.
        For this I have 4.0 release sets installed (wthout X sets),
        and have X11_TYPE=modular set in (the sandbox) mk.conf.  Most
        likely none of that is relevant for this problem.

        Building devel/Arx cause a script to try running "env python"
        which fails, as thee is nothing called python installed (there
        is a "python2.4" instaled).

>How-To-Repeat:
        I built devel/ArX starting with an almost empty sandbox (it did
        have pkg_install, digest, libkver, linktpksrc, and for the latter,
        perl5 installed - all current versions).

        Building ArX using "pkg_comp build devel/ArX" ends with ...

        happens to be relevant)

        There is nothing relating to python in the sandbox
        mk.conf nor the environment (ie: it picked to use
        python 2.4 all by itself, the binary packages directory
        has 2.1 2.3 2.4 and 2.5 versions available to use).

>Fix:
        I assume something needs to patch the script to use
        /usr/pkg/bin/python2.4 instead of "env python" - or
        some equivalent thereto.
