Basically pkgsrc complains about a symlink when WRKDIR isn't set in mk.conf. Well, I think either or is fine, just make sure that we don't break sandboxed builds on Solaris :) btw, if you run -current on Solaris right now you won't be able to build a single package. So, I'll vote another time for "change back to NO" :) Regards Uli
