>Description:
        sysutils/cfengine2 attempts to install (mkdir at least) into
        var/cfengine/inputs (instead of /var or $PREFIX/var or ...)

        That attempts to create a directory within pkgsrc/sysutils/cfengine2
        which fails for my read-only pkg_comp environment (packages cannot
        modify pkgsrc during their build - nor should they...)

>How-To-Repeat:
        I use pkg_comp with libkver (and NetBSD 4.0 though for this problem
        that might be irrelevant - and pkgsrc modular xorg, though that's
        almost certainly irrelevant).

        In that environment I see ...
