NetBSD rider.elven.org 3.0 NetBSD 3.0 (RIDER) #13: Thu Mar  8 22:36:48 EST 2007  gthorpe@rider.elven.org:/misc/sysbuilds/RIDER i386
>Description:
Doing an unpriviledged build of any package fails when building dependencies: su always fails because STDIN has been redirected from a file to read dependencies.

This produces errors like:

rider 45% make
=> Required installed package digest>=20010302: digest-20060826 found
===> Checking for vulnerabilities in dillo-0.8.6nb1
=> Checksum SHA1 OK for dillo-0.8.6.tar.bz2
=> Checksum RMD160 OK for dillo-0.8.6.tar.bz2
===> Installing dependencies for dillo-0.8.6nb1
==========================================================================
The supported build options for dillo are:

        dillo-ssl inet6

The currently selected options are:

        inet6

You can select which build options to use by setting PKG_DEFAULT_OPTIONS
or the following variable.  Its current value is shown:

        PKG_OPTIONS.dillo (not defined)

Deprecated variable USE_INET6 set to YES, use PKG_DEFAULT_OPTIONS+=inet6 instead.

==========================================================================
=> Required installed package digest>=20010302: digest-20060826 found
=> Required installed package x11-links>=0.25: x11-links-0.30 found
=> Required installed package jpeg>=6bnb2: NOT found
=> Verifying package for ../../graphics/jpeg
[...]
=> Unwrapping files-to-be-installed.
===> Installing for jpeg-6bnb3
=> Becoming ``root'' to make su-install-all (/usr/bin/su)
su: Sorry: conversation failure

>How-To-Repeat:
Build any package which needs to also build dependencies as an unpriviledged user (needs to run 'su').
>Fix:
This patch from OBATA Akio fixes the problem:
