System: NetBSD rainier.reedmedia.net 1.5.3 NetBSD 1.5.3 (JCR-1.5-20020723) #0: Tue Jul 23 15:18:22 PDT 2002 reed@rainier.reedmedia.net:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/JCR-1.5-20020723 i386
Architecture: i386
Machine: i386
>Description:
I have had a couple PRs and I often see emails about problems
with binary packages for 1.5.x built against XFree86-4.x.x.
For example,
xfig-3.2.3.4nb1 available from
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/1.5/i386/All requires
libXaw3d.so.7 (because built under XFree86-4.x.x).

And sodipodi and evolution want libfreetype.so.8.
>How-To-Repeat:
Use default XFree86 with 1.5.x.
Then successfully install various binary packatges for 1.5.x from
NetBSD's official FTP site.
>Fix:
Preferably rebuild and repackage all the problem X packages
under default XFree86 so they will have proper dependencies.

Or have separate download directory that is
named XFree86-4.

Or remove them so they aren't used.
