I tried to install something that depended upon zlib today. It failed
because it needed a more up to date version. I thought this was odd, since
the pkgsrc tree is very good about getting dependancies for you. Anywho, I
cd'd to the zlib dir, and got this:

make update
===> zlib-1.1.4nb1 is not available for NetBSD-1.5.2-i386

What gives? If it is not available, why is it in the tree? Why are other
programs in the tree if they depend on it?

I assume this is just some sort of build issue. I have updated my tree,
btw.

namaste,
Mark
