>Description:
when installing pkgsrc/databases/mysql-client, the Makefile that is generated
uses "install -s" to install a bourne shell script in the scripts subdirectory.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to install mysql-client with a 1.4 base and comp. You will see complaints
about unrecognized file format.
>Fix:
Workaround: fix pkgsrc/databases/mysql-client/work.i386/mysql-3.22.22/scripts/Makefile to
define INSTALL_SCRIPT differently from INSTALL_PROGRAM.
Unsure of correct behaviour. This may be a bug in /usr/bin/install
