 I'm all for applying _any_ fix;-)

 Right. I am testing on Source Mage right now, with is a rather custom
 distro much like doing pkgsrc for the whole system. Incidentally, I
 _do_ have libnsl installed and the header
 
 	/usr/include/rpcsvc/yp_prot.h
 
 exists. Apparenlty it is not picked up by the pythons. I do not have
 ypcat. I can try to look again where the python configuration goes
 wrong and then post to pkg/54056.
