>Description:
A new feature in pkgsrc-2005Q4 and the latest pkg_install tools
should flag automatically-installed dependent packages.  For the
bin-install case, that should be done by these lines:

.if defined(_AUTOMATIC) && !empty(_AUTOMATIC:Myes)
_BIN_INSTALL_FLAGS+=	-a
.endif

Two problems. First, pkg_add doesn't have a -a flag; the new
flag for "automatic" is -A (upper case).

So why is no error message produced?  That's because the variable
_AUTOMATIC does not get set to the value yes; it's set to YES; so
the above code isn't executed anyway and that's why nobody caught
the -a.
>How-To-Repeat:
bin-install a package that is not available in binary form but whose
depends are. Observe that the depends (those installed by pkg_add)
are not flagged automatic (they show up in pkg_info -u, which they
shouldn't).
