My scripts to sup -current daily have been purring along for years
without any trouble.  Recently, I noticed the logs saying "SUP: Unable
to delete directory src/sys/kgdb".  On investigating, I find that the
sup of 1998-03-04 was fine (it mentioned the directory, but in a line
"SUP Updated directory src/sys/kgdb"), but the next sup, 1998-04-04,
complained as quoted.  Every sup since then (at least, every one I've
checked) has complained likewise.

Now, src/sys/kgdb is not empty in the area being supped into; it
contains eight files:

-rw-rw-r--  1 mouse        7695 Nov 26  1997 README.port
-rw-rw-r--  1 mouse         867 Nov 26  1997 TODO
-rw-rw-r--  1 mouse         243 Nov 26  1997 debuggers.h
-rw-rw-r--  1 mouse         417 Nov 26  1997 files.kgdb
-rw-rw-r--  1 mouse        4697 Nov 26  1997 kgdb.h
-rw-rw-r--  1 mouse        7517 Nov 26  1997 kgdb_if.c
-rw-rw-r--  1 mouse       19271 Nov 26  1997 kgdb_kgdb.c
-rw-rw-r--  1 mouse        3956 Nov 26  1997 kgdb_slip.c

But I'm quite sure I didn't put them there.  So I'm wondering why sup
would leave the files there and then try to delete the directory.  (I
discipline myself to *never* write to the supped-into area, though it's
not impossible that something went wrong and wrote there, if that's
what it would take to cause this.)

I'm running sup with -B -d -E -K -o -z -v and the supfile in question
reads

current release=allsrc host=sup.netbsd.org hostbase=/ftp/pub base=/sources/sup/sup/netbsd prefix=/sources/supped/netbsd use-rel-suffix
current release=doc host=sup.netbsd.org hostbase=/ftp/pub base=/sources/sup/sup/netbsd prefix=/sources/supped/netbsd use-rel-suffix
#current release=security host=sup.netbsd.org hostbase=/ftp/pub base=/usr prefix=/usr backup use-rel-suffix
current release=othersrc host=sup.netbsd.org hostbase=/ftp/pub base=/sources/sup/sup/othersrc prefix=/sources/supped/othersrc use-rel-suffix

If anyone has any idea what's wrong, I'd love to hear about it.
