>Description:
The tiff package is based on version 3.3 beta 021 of the TIFF library which
is older than half of the NetBSD ports.
>How-To-Repeat:
Look at the distribution file.
>Fix:
Download "ftp://colwyn.owl.de/pub/unix/NetBSD/packages/tiff.tar.gz"
and add it the NetBSD distribution.
[And please don't forget to delete the old package completely before you
unextract it because it comes with less patch files than the old one.]
