>Description:
	The uucp system was recently removed from the base system and
	reincarnated in the package system.  However, the uucpd program,
	used for operating uucp over tcp, was part of bsd, not part of
	the Taylor uucp package, therefore not part of the pkgsrc net/uucp
	package.  No equivalent functionality is provided.  This breaks
	mail delivery for users of uucp mail delivery over tcp.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Examine the -current tree and the pkgsrc net/uucp package.

>Fix:
	Either restore uucpd to the base system or add it to pkgsrc.
	If the latter is chosen, the PR category should change from
	bin to pkg.
