>Originator:     Izumi Tsutsui
>Release:        NetBSD 8.1
>Organization:
>Environment:
System: NetBSD/i386 8.1 (GENERIC)
Architecture: i386 (affects all ports)
Machine: i386
>Description:
The dhcpcd(8) man page suggest to install 10-wpa_supplicant files
to use WiFi devices with dhcpcd(8):
---
     More scripts are supplied in /usr/share/examples/dhcpcd/hooks and need to
     be copied to /libexec/dhcpcd-hooks if you intend to use them.  For
     example, you could install 10-wpa_supplicant so that dhcpcd can ensure
     that wpa_supplicant(8) is always running on a hot-plugged wireless
     interface.
---
and it works fine.

However src/distrib/sets/lists/base/mi has the following entry:
---
./libexec/dhcpcd-hooks/10-wpa_supplicant        base-obsolete      obsolete
---

So the manually installed 10-wpa_supplicant script is removed
as obsolete on every upgrade installation by sysinst(8)
(or postinstall(8) fix command).

>How-To-Repeat:
- copy /usr/share/examples/dhcpcd/hooks/10-wpa_supplicant to
  /libexec/dhcpcd-hooks
- upgrade the system to 8.1 using sysinst 

>Fix:
Remove the entry of ./libexec/dhcpcd-hooks/10-wpa_supplicant from
src/distrib/sets/lists/base/mi?
