System: NetBSD kolvir.arlington.ma.us 1.6 NetBSD 1.6 (KOLVIR-$Revision: 1.48 $) #15: Sun Sep 8 23:03:07 EDT 2002 jtk@kolvir.arlington.ma.us:/usr/u4/sandbox/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/KOLVIR i386
Architecture: i386

>Description:
	I was having trouble getting Java to work in netscape7.
	I noticed a bogus symlink while debugging.
>How-To-Repeat:
	install netscape7 with NS_DIST=complete from this Makefile in
pkgsrc/www/netscape7: 
$NetBSD: Makefile,v 1.8 2002/10/02 01:09:06 jschauma Exp $

Then look at /usr/pkg/lib/netscape/netscape7/plugins and see this
symlink to the pkgwork area:
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel     106 Oct  6 08:59 libjavaplugin_oji.so.bogus -> /u5/pkgwrk/www/netscape7/work/netscape-installer/dest/plugins/java2/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so

>Fix:
Looks like the symlink needs to be corrected to point at
java2/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so, but even that doesn't make
everything work.
