Building gramps, it said that "fam is not installed; can't buildlink
files."

But fam was installed, but just was an older version. So I made the
buildlink3.mk allow older version.

Then again:

===> Buildlinking for gramps-1.0.1
libgtkhtml is not installed; can't buildlink files.
*** Error code 1

So I made it accept old version.

Then ...

rainier:/usr/pkgsrc/wip/gramps$ make
===> Checking for vulnerabilities in gramps-1.0.1
===> Buildlinking for gramps-1.0.1
gnome-vfs2 is not installed; can't buildlink files.
*** Error code 1

Why doesn't this buildlink3 system tell why?

Why doesn't it start build of old and then fail when it can't install
(because old version is already installed) like before?
