System: NetBSD argonaut.cirr.com 1.3.3 NetBSD 1.3.3 (GENERIC) #0: Mon Dec 14 08:11:28 MET 1998 pk@flambard:/usr/src/sys/arch/sparc/compile/GENERIC sparc


>Description:
	The upgrade script for NetBSD/sparc on the miniroot cannot
	find the upgrade sets on a local mounted filesystem.  

	The shell function `dir_has_sets()' appears not to find
	the sets in the filesystem, and the calling function,
	`get_localdir()' doesn't provide a useful error message
	when the directory selected doens't contain a useful
	directory path in the error message.

	`get_localdir()' uses the variable `local_sets_dir' in the error
	message, but the variable isn't defined in the error condition
	in which it is used.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Attempt to upgrade with the sets on a local filesystem, and get
	the path to the sets wrong.

>Fix:
	change the use of `$local_sets_dir' to `$_dir' in the error
	case (when `dir_has_sets()' fails) of the `get_localdir()'.
