I haven't a clue. The Makefile was correct. When I do a "make install"
in the pkg_install directory the shell prompt returns immediately.

If I install by hand into /usr/sbin, the pkg utilities still don't
recognize the fact that the latest sources are there.

The machine is running NetBSD/i386 1.3. Maybe there were some subtle
changes to the package system for 1.4?

I've sat here and compared "make -d A install" for this system and a
1.4.1 system, but I wasn't enlightened.
