>Description:
        It appears as if sysutils/tpb (tpb-0.6.1nb4) (which doesn't seem
        to have been touched in any serious way since Feb 2007) has
        grown out of sync with x11/xosd upon which it depends.

>How-To-Repeat:
        I'm using NetBSD 4.0 release, via pkg_comp with libkver, but I
        doubt that is in any way relevant to this problem.   I also use
        pkgsrc modular xorg instead of NetBSD 4.0's x* sets, that's also
        irrelevant.

        In this environment, building sysutils/tpb produces ...

checking for version of libxosd... < 0.7.0, failed
*** The version of XOSD library installed is not 0.7.0 or
*** above, make sure the correct version is installed.
*** Error code 1

        Pkgsrc installed x11/xosd as a dependency, which
        found ...

xosd-2.2.14         Library to display shaped text on your X display

        and which includes ...

/usr/pkg/lib/libxosd.so.2.2.14

        2.2.14 should certainly be > 0.7.0 !

        The config test program that decides that xosd isn't
        installing a suitable version is ...

                    xosd* t = xosd_init("font", "colour", 0, XOSD_top, 0, 0);
                  }
                
; return 0; }



>Fix:
        xosd has been updated much mroe recently than tpb, it seems as
        if tpb has bitrotted.   It either needs upgrading (I see doc/TODO
        has tpb-0.6.4 listed as something to work on), or just deleting.
        The last real work on xosd seems to be Feb 2009 - 7 months ago,
        so I suspect tpb has been broken, without complaints, all this time.
        I guess no-one really cares about thinkpad magic keys...
