>Description:
        The makefile, called ymakefile, has leading spaces instead of tabs.
        As a result, make fails as in

>How-To-Repeat:
        cd /usr/pkgsrc/news/nn
        make

>Fix:
        In work/nn-6.6.5/Makefile there is a rule to create ymakefile.
        Changing the sed cmd to be less restrictive should fix it, I think.
        On line 63, it reads

            -e 's/^        /^I/

        where ^I is (of course) a literal tab in the file
        but perhaps it should read

            -e 's/^  */^I/

        so that any sequence of leading spaces becomes a tab.
        In effect, that's what I did in vi.
