I updated and installed pax and pkg_install from HEAD and moved
gnu tar out of the way.  Now i update pkgsrc/mk and try to build
a package:

Creating gzip'd tar ball in
'/usr/pkgsrc/packages/All/bmf-0.84.tgz'
tar: Unable to access -C <No such file or directory>
tar: Removing leading / from absolute path names in the archive
tar: Removing leading / from absolute path names in the archive
tar: Ignoring link containing `..'
(../lib/python2.2/site-packages/idle/idle.py)
tar: Ignoring link containing `..' (../sbin/accept)
tar: Ignoring link containing `..' (../sbin/accept)

At that point i interrupted it.

Note that i am running 1.6, not current.
