Hi,

Upgraded to pkgsrc-current last night, and there seams to be some
problems related to checkperms. If PKG_DEVELOPER is enabled pkgsrc now
insist on installing checkperms, that's fine, but checkperms won't
build.

Removed groff from my distro (same version as in pkgsrc), but then
pkgsrc fails since checkperms needs groff and groff needs checkperms.
I could disable PKG_DEVELOPER when compiling groff and then try
compile checkperms, but I need the groff package bundled with my
distro, since it's the same version as in pkgsrc it should work(?).

Also tested checkperms in pkgsrc-2007Q2, same issues there too.
