 Done, and everything's fine now.  Thanks very much for your help.  I'll
 know to run pkg_admin check in the future.  Sorry for the misdirection.  I
 really do try to make sure I've done my homework before filing a PR.  
 
 I haven't deinstalled any packages recently (mostly I'm building the
 machine).  
 My theory: 
 
 libebml was installed previously, but at that time it didn't install its
 headers (due to an error in the package).  Later, the pkgsrc tree was
 updated with correct instructions, but of course the package remained
 registered.  Doing the admin check showed that the installed set didn't
 match the current packing list.  
 
 Looking at the CVS history, though, I don't see any support for my
 theory....
 
 Thanks again and regards,
