>Description:
        The distfile for the version of rxvt-unicode that pgksrc expects
        has moved into the "Attic" sub-directory of the directory from
        which it is expected, and cannot be located by pkgsrc.

        That's because there is a new version available - in fact,
        there have been several since the version in pkgsrc (which is
        7.2), since then, 7.3, 7.3a 7.4pre and 7.4 have all come and
        gone, current is 7.5.

>How-To-Repeat:
        mv ..../distfiles/rxvt-unicode-7.2.tgz /some/where/else
        cd ..../pkgsrc/x11/rxvt-unicode
        make fetch

>Fix:
        Either append "Attic/" to MASTER_SITES, or upgrade
        rxvt-unicode from version 7.2 to the current one (which,
        as of this PR, is 7.5 - but it looks as if it changes
        almost daily...).   Using a version from the Attic
        directory looks safe - those look to be being retained "forever",
        if the current version is to be used (no Attic) then please
        make sure that ftp.NetBSD.org receives a copy of the
        distfile desired, before upgrading the pkgsrc (or
        simultaneously), so it will remain available at a location
        where pkgsrc can find it (or specify both the non-Attic and Attic
        URLs as MASTER_SITES so pkgsrc will look both places).

        I have verified that he "append Attic/" solution allows 7.2
        to be fetched, and then build correctly, no idea how easy
        an upgrade would be.

>Unformatted:
        Building using pkg_comp with libkver, and libkver, with NetBSD
        version set to 3.0 (using 3.0 release binary sets).   Pkgsrc
        is current as of a few hours ago.
