>Description:
	A recent build of the bash2 package failed to connect to the
	primary site and attempted to fetch

	  ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/bash-2.02.1.tar.gz

	instead.  However, the GNU ftp site has been reorganized, with
	individual subdirectories for each software package, so the
	correct location is now

	  ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/bash/bash-2.02.1.tar.gz

	NB: this ftp.gnu.org reorganization very likely has implications
	for every GNU package in the tree--I haven't checked.

>How-To-Repeat:
	cd /usr/pkgsrc/shells/bash2; make

>Fix:
	Trivial for this package alone, but given that all GNU packages
	may be affected, I imagine that a general solution involving
	automatically inserting the subdirectory name when fetching from
	ftp.gnu.org might be the most appropriate fix.
