>Description:
	packages installing info files (at least gmake), if they're
	the first package to do so, try to touch /usr/share/info/dir.

	That file doesn't exist in NetBSD.

>How-To-Repeat:
	rm /usr/pkg/info/dir, or go to a system where you've not installed
	any pacakges.

	Try to install gmake (gmake-3.75).

	Note that it barfs with:

	sed: /usr/share/info/dir: No such file or directory
	*** Error code 1

>Fix:
	Unknown.  The gmake package does this because its PLIST includes
	the line:

	@exec [ -f %D/info/dir ] || sed -ne '1,/Menu:/p' /usr/share/info/dir > %D/info/dir

	I'm not sure the right way to fix it, though.
