>Description:
math/octave fails to install with errors like this
pkg_create: can't stat 
`/media/sda7/src/pkgsrc/math/octave/work/.destdir/home/vital303/netbsd/lib/octave/3.4.3/oct/i386-debian-linux/PKG_ADD'

I have
bmake show-var VARNAME=MACHINE_GNU_PLATFORM
i386-debian-linux

But the package uses canonized name
i386-debian-linux-gnu
>How-To-Repeat:
bmake install
in
math/octave
on Ubuntu Linux
>Fix:
I added
MACHINE_GNU_PLATFORM=   i386-debian-linux-gnu
to mk.conf
