I don't see this -- where exactly did you notice that?

From
        
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/kristerw/pkgstat/i386-2.0/20041124.0333/www/jakarta-tomcat4/.broken.html
the error reported is:
        ls: /usr/pkg/tomcat4/webapps/to: No such file or directory
which points to a PLIST problem (file in PLIST that does not get installed).

If you want to depend on sun-jdk14 by default, you should
set the PKG_JMVS_ACCEPTED variable in the package's Makefile.
See comments at the top of mk/java-vm.mk for details.
