I was trying to build the sawfish window manager (pkgsrc/wm/sawfish), but
I've run into a problem I need some help diagnosing.
The build process only gets this far:
$ make
===> Validating dependencies for sawfish-1.0.1
And there it sits, apparently indefinately. If I run make with '-dm'
(which prints debugging information about making targets), it appears to
be stuck in the following endless loop:
Examining uptodate-pkgtools...non-existent...non-existent and no
sources...out-of-date.
update time to now: 19:00:00 Dec 31, 1969
Examining install-depends...non-existent...modified before
source...out-of-date.
Examining check-depends...non-existent...non-existent and no
sources...out-of-date.

Any thoughts? Other packages are building without a problem, but I ran
into similar symptoms trying to run 'make readme' in pkgsrc/net.
