	Just a 0. Unfortunately setting PKG_PATH to /usr/pkgsrc/packages
doesn't help. Still get the dc errors.

	It's less the reliability of pkg_info than being able to BUILD the
package. It's a requirement for several other packages that I want.

	Here is where the problem starts, if it helps any:

$NetBSD: MESSAGE,v 1.1.1.1 1999/04/30 15:19:13 tv Exp $

If upgrading from SSLeay, you will need to copy your ssleay.cnf (used
for creating certificate requests with "ca") into PREFIX/etc/openssl.cnf.

If installing from scratch, you may want to take a look at
PREFIX/etc/openssl.cnf.example, copy it to PREFIX/etc/openssl.cnf, and
customize it.

===========================================================================

test: argument list too long
dc: dc: stack empty
dc: dc: input base must be a number between 2 and 16 (inclusive)
dc: stack empty
dc: dc: stack empty
dc: dc: dc: dc: dc: stack empty
...

	Thanks,
