>Description:
        After the recent upgrade, archivers/zziplib generates errors
        from the file-check test that pkgsrc makes with PKG_DEVELOPER=yeso

        However, the file names it complains about (which really do get
        installed) suggest that perhaps the real problem is with libtool,
        or something like that.

>How-To-Repeat:
        I am using pkg_comp with libkver and NetBSD 4.0 release sets installed
        (except x* - using pkgsrc modular xorg instead, but that's irrelevant).

        Building installing and making a binary package with PKG_DEVELOPER=yes
        (which pkg_comp makes happen) results in...

hecking file-check results for zziplib-0.13.56 
ERROR: ************************************************************
ERROR: The following files are in /usr/pkg but not in the PLIST:
ERROR:         /usr/pkg/lib/libzzip*.so.10
ERROR:         /usr/pkg/lib/libzzip*.so.11
ERROR:         /usr/pkg/lib/libzzip*.so.12
*** Error code 1

        Those files, really do get installed (they're present
        in /usr/pkg).

        Earlier in the build log I see ...

===> Installing for zziplib-0.13.56
=> Generating pre-install file lists
/usr/pkg/lib: ln -s libzzip*.so.13 libzzip*.so.10
/usr/pkg/lib: ln -s libzzip*.so.13 libzzip*.so.11
/usr/pkg/lib: ln -s libzzip*.so.13 libzzip*.so.12

        which looks like some kind of weird attempt to make
        applications that linked against earlier versions of
        libzzip continue to work with the current version.
        Aside from the ln command run that way being absurd
        (if there isn't a single existing libzzip*.so.10 file, etc)
        it isn't the right thing to do - if the major number of
        the lib has changed, that should mean that the library is
        incompatible with earlier versions, and applications linked
        against earlier versions of the library simply need to be
        recompiled (at very least, relinked) in order to work.

        Or, the old libzzip.so.10 (etc) libraries can simply be
        left in place.

>Fix:
        No idea, I took a look and couldn't see where this
        nonsense is happening (but it does, repeatedly).
