System: NetBSD grappa 1.5ZC NetBSD 1.5ZC (GRAPPA) #4: Fri Apr 5 17:58:15 EST 2002 gr@grappa:/usr/obj/.i386/sys/arch/i386/compile/GRAPPA i386

>Description:
  Anything in pkgsrc that lists uses ${MASTER_SITE_SOURCEFORGE:=<foo>}
  will fail a make install, as instead of giving you the file when
  you request a url from prdownloads.sourceforge.net now, it gives
  you an HTML page asking you to request a mirror.
>How-To-Repeat:
  mail/grepmail is what I just got whacked with, but I've run into
  it at least five times in the past few days. (Just do a make
  install.)
>Fix:
  No clue. Find an ftp site instead where people can't do evil
  things like this?
